While I fully agree there is nothing obsolete about the 3rd Gen auto, the P-51 Mustang most assuredly is as a fighter. Has been since 1944 when the first Me-262 jet flew into combat. And depending on the model, the Mustang carried four (P-51A/B/C) or six (P-51D/H/K) .50 cal. Brownings. The only operational eight gun American fighter was the larger P-47 Thunderbolt.
