You might also like Silent Storm (it is on Steam).

Due to weight restrictions, only small weapons could be carried on board. Intrepid pilots decided to interfere with enemy reconnaissance by improvised means, including throwing bricks, grenades and sometimes rope, which they hoped would entangle the enemy plane's propeller. Pilots quickly began firing hand-held guns at enemy planes, such as pistols and carbines. The first aerial dogfight occurred during the Battle of Cer (15–24 August 1914), when a Serbian aviator encountered an Austro-Hungarian plane while performing a reconnaissance mission over Austro-Hungarian positions. The Austro-Hungarian pilot initially waved while the Serbian pilot reciprocated. The Austro-Hungarian pilot then fired at Serbian aviator Tomić with his revolver.[/quote] trolling, 1914 style [editline]25th February 2014[/editline] [quote]Tomić managed to escape, and, within several weeks, all Serbian and Austro-Hungarian planes were fitted with machine-guns[/quote]

Today I learned about the Benelli CB M2. [img]http://world.guns.ru/userfiles/images/smg/smg98/benelli_cb-m2_1.jpg[/img] Outwardly a normal SMG. However, it fired 65% more bullet per bullet. [img]http://cartridgecollectors.org/cmo/cmo07aprb.jpg[/img] Why aren't cartridges like that ever produced?

However, adding that extra brass also pretty much negated the theoretical advantage of lightweight caseless ammo. In addition, maintaining a way to extract and eject live rounds left the gun no simpler than any other blowback subgun – more complex than many of them, in fact. As a result of these rather self-defeating characteristics, it is not particularly surprising that the CB-M2 found brought significant contracts, and was shelved by Benelli in 1985." No one really wants proprietary ammunition because there is no need for it when it is no better than tradition, commercially produced ammo. If the LSAT is adopted for full scale deployment, we'll see a push for caseless ammo and guns that can use it.
