  1. Wow. Four important points suitable for potential illustrators, novelists, and comic artists to freshen the popular perspective. Nice stuff, Ian.

  2. Thanks, Ian. I'm an armchair historian with particular interest in the weapons of the WW2 era. Oerlikon, and its descendant, the Polsten, figure heavily in accounts. It's nice to understand operation of such a weapon, but revealing its oddities and flaws tell us so much more about arms design and the evolution of weapons systems. Additionally, as a writer, knowing the quirks helps me both delight and better inform my reader base.
