On the other hand, it was much lighter and shorter. Even with its compact size, wing installation on the <a href="/wiki/Messerschmitt_Bf_109" title="Messerschmitt Bf 109">Messerschmitt Bf 109</a> and <a href="/wiki/Focke-Wulf_Fw_190" title="Focke-Wulf Fw 190">Focke-Wulf Fw 190</a> fighters was not easy, as the drum required substantial space, and as a consequence the ammunition storage was initially reduced to 60 shells per drum. An ammunition drum of 90-round nominal capacity was developed for the Fw 190 A-5, and retrofitted to some earlier variants. There were also experiments with belt feedings. </p><p>The MG FF was adapted to fire a new type of high-capacity, <a href="/wiki/Explosive_material" class="mw-redirect" title="Explosive material">high-explosive</a> "<a href="/wiki/Mine_shell" title="Mine shell">mine shell</a>" that featured a projectile with thinner walls that allowed increased explosive charge. This projectile was lighter and thus had a higher muzzle velocity than the previous ammunition; this also entailed that it generated less recoil than earlier projectiles requiring a modification of the recoil mechanism. With this modification it could fire the new mine shell, but accidentally using the heavier MG FF ammo could damage the gun. In the interest of avoiding such errors, the weapon was redesignated the <b>MG FF/M.</b> It was introduced with the Bf 109 E-4 and Bf 110 C-4 in summer 1940. </p><p>The MG FF fired a 134 g projectile with a muzzle velocity of some 600 m/s and a rate of fire of about 530 rounds per minute. The MG FF/M fired a 90 g HE/M (high explosive mine shell) projectile with a muzzle velocity of c. 700 m/s and a rate of fire of c. 540 rounds per minute. AP, HE and incendiary projectiles were also available (115 to 117 g projectiles, 585 m/s, c. 520 rpm) because the mine-shot was not capable of holding incendiary or tracer parts. There were also different types of high-explosive mine shell fillings with either standard <b>Pentrit A</b> (<a href="/wiki/PETN" class="mw-redirect" title="PETN">PETN</a> + <a href="/wiki/Aluminium" title="Aluminium">Aluminium</a>), a mixture called <b>HA 41</b> (<a href="/wiki/RDX" title="RDX">RDX</a> + <a href="/wiki/Aluminium" title="Aluminium">Aluminium</a> powder)(the latter had a 40 percent increased high explosive and incendiary effect).<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEL.Dv._4000/101944_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEL.Dv._4000/101944-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEHandbuch_der_Flugzeug_Bordwaffenmunition_1936–1945_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHandbuch_der_Flugzeug_Bordwaffenmunition_1936–1945-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Operational_use">Operational use</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=MG_FF_cannon&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Operational use"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Bf_110_SM.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/46/Bf_110_SM.jpg/220px-Bf_110_SM.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="281" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/46/Bf_110_SM.jpg/330px-Bf_110_SM.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/46/Bf_110_SM.jpg 2x" data-file-width="391" data-file-height="499" /></a><figcaption>MG FF/M guns in <a href="/wiki/Schr%C3%A4ge_Musik" title="Schräge Musik">Schräge Musik</a> installation through canopy of a Bf 110</figcaption></figure> <p>The MG FF and FF/M saw widespread use in fighters such as the Bf 109 E-3 to F-1, <a href="/wiki/Messerschmitt_Bf_110" title="Messerschmitt Bf 110">Bf 110</a> C to F, and Fw 190 A-1 to A-5. Early variants of the Fw 190 (A-1 to A-5) were typically fitted with an inboard pair of MG 151 and an outboard pair of MG FF/M, although the MG FF/M were sometimes removed in the field in order to save weight. The MG FF/M fed from a 60-round drum that required an underwing bulge to fit within the wing (90 rounds in the A-5). From the A-6 onward, the MG FF/M were replaced by a pair of MG 151/20 feeding from 125 round belts, or deleted altogether. The cannon was also fitted to bombers such as the <a href="/wiki/Dornier_Do_217" title="Dornier Do 217">Do 217</a>, <a href="/wiki/Junkers_Ju_88" title="Junkers Ju 88">Ju 88</a>, <a href="/wiki/Heinkel_He_111" title="Heinkel He 111">He 111</a>, <a href="/wiki/Dornier_Do_17" title="Dornier Do 17">Do 17</a>, as well as many other aircraft, either as aerial defense, or more often for anti-ship and defensive fire suppression.
