P-39 Airacobra 37mm Cannon: The Gun That Jammed After 15 Rounds But Pilots Flew AnywayThe Bell P-39 Airacobra was designed around a single devastating weapon: a 37mm cannon that could destroy a bomber with one shot. But the gun jammed after an average of 15 rounds—a 60% failure rate that made it worthless in combat. US pilots called it unreliable. Soviet pilots simply stopped using it and still scored thousands of victories. This is the engineering story of how America's most ambitious fighter succeeded only when its defining weapon was ignored.
