Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Autocannons are not machine guns/reply (7)

We're talking about two different things. I removed the "large-bore machine gun" definition and simultaneously added the autocannons on aircraft line. I figure whoever added the large-bore machine gun line was most likely thinking of autocannons.

My understanding was that you said that my usage comment about autocannons on aircraft makes the machine gun definition correct, which led to my first comment above saying that autocannons are not machine guns. There is no version of a cannon that is a machine gun, or vice versa, so the definition of "a large-bore machine gun" is completely incorrect. If you want to say that some cannons are autocannons, that would be correct, but I think the autocannons on aircraft line under usage covers it.
