Link? All I could find online is the 1945 P-51D manual.
By the time of korean war new aircraft like f-86 sabre used upgraded fiftycal AN/M3 Browning.

This weapon had boosted feed mechanism and higher rate of fire compared to ww2 era Mustangs.

F-80 shooting star also used AN/M3.

Did legacy era propeller aircraft get upgraded or retrofitted with newer AN/M3?

Im thinking mustangs and corsairs used in korea...
