	The '''MG FF''' is a German aircraft cannon developed from the [[Oerlikon 20mm Cannon\|Oerlikon FF F]] in 1936. An exceptionally powerful new type of HE shell called ''minengeschoss'' ("mine shell") was developed, but due to the shell actually weighing notably less despite packing significantly more explosive filler, the lighter weight resulted in the gun being unable to cycle properly, and thus the recoil system was modified to create the '''MG FF/M'''. The MG FF/M was otherwise effectively identical, but using the old (heavier) ammo in the newer gun could cause damage, and thus they couldn't share ammo.

''Schräge Musik'' was the term for the installation of upward-firing cannons in night fighters (such as the Bf 110), with the intent being to pull up under bombers at night, where they're far less likely to notice the fighter and in some cases (like the Lancaster) have no ventral turrets. This tactic proved exceptionally effective, partly inherent to its nature, but also due to Allied brass not accepting that such tactics existed for many months, these losses instead being attributed to flak.
