RAF Lancaster bombers were armed with Browning .303 rifle caliber machine guns. This was deemed adequate at the start of the war. As the war progressed the Germans added features to their fighters to defeat this round.

This is the only zone which would cause the fighter to break-a-way from his attack. The video will address live fire testing which confirm the Me-109's vulnerability location.
