Spelling.

Every book I've ever read that mentioned this gun spells it "Richter". What is with the spelling "Rikhter"? And if that is actually the proper spelling, maybe it should be mentioned in the text so people like me don't have to wonder why it's spelled differently here than everywhere else they've ever seen it?.45Colt 21:17, 2 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Steel cladding

  In fighters, wing mountings were more common than the nose mounts of the earlier designs. This often required small sections of stainless steel to be fitted to the wing skinning to protect it.

Which exact aircraft used the NR-30 in wing mounts that required steel skin on the wings to protect them? How would that even work, unless the guns were podded above or below the wing with the muzzle behind the leading edge? I have never seen such an armament that I can recall. What I have seen on a number of Soviet aircraft is cannons mounted in the wing roots, several inches from the fuselage, requiring an easily-seen steel reinforcement plate on the fuselage to prevent the muzzle blast from damaging the fuselage skin. Su-7, Su-22, MiG-19 all use this design, with a small, easily-visible oval shaped plate on the side of the fuselage adjacent to the muzzles. Also, the diverging trajectories of 23 and 37mm rounds leads to one or other of the guns being inaccurate at long ranges, or both guns are only accurate at the exact range they are dialed in for. It makes no sense as written.
