	::::Not necessarily. Weapons mounted in vehicles with very specific armament loadout are often counted as being present if gunfire from the weapon can be seen, even if actual weapon is hidden from view. We may not be able to see it, but we can see that it is present and we can identify exactly what it is based on the vehicle.--[[User:PistolJunkie\|PistolJunkie]] 18:08, 16 September 2011 (CDT)		::::Not necessarily.

			Why is the picture with the pistol grip back? I'm fairly sure that is an MG15, as the MG17 was for fixed mountings hence no fire controls or furniture. I know that some were adapted for infantry use which I can't find a pic of, but this gun is magazine fed and not belt fed like the MG17. --[[User:Commando552\|commando552]] 03:13, 17 September 2011 (CDT)

It may be the case that it has never appeared on film, as the only film I can think of which has a genuine WW2 German plane was the JU 87 in [[Battle of Britain]], and that was the one from the RAF museum which is a G-2 variant without internal guns (used 37mm underwing gun pods) but there should be some video games with it in. I would add them, but have no knowledge of flight sims at all. --[[User:Commando552\|commando552]] 17:44, 16 September 2011 (CDT)		:I didn't make the page, just found it and not only was it empty, it had a picture of an MG15 rather than an MG17, so just changed the picture, which happens to be the entirety of the article at the moment.
