The Vickers F.B.5 (Fighting Biplane 5) "Gunbus", was a British two-seat pusher military biplane of the First World War. Armed with a single .303 in Lewis gun operated by the observer in the front of the nacelle, it was the first aircraft purpose-built for air-to-air combat to see service, making it the world's first operational fighter aircraft.

"This is a Gunbus, one hell of a plane!"
@MAHADI thanks! I didn't realize you had a WWI challenge going on rn!
@Vincent can you make this a successor to this challenge?
I like it very much!
you can enter this to my challenge if you want
lol @ForwardUntoDawn
@Thecatbaron thanks! Yeah I originally had the Lewis fire accurately, but that just wasn't as fun as making it fire like a modern autocannon!
This is a very cool plane to use!, although the fire rate of the Lewis gun here is ahh, a bit much. this monster fires at 3000 rpm which is like the low setting on an m61 rotary cannon. Needless to say, this plane kills everything around it in seconds. Its pretty funny though :)
@JustWingIt @Trainzo thanks so much!
Very great build . I love it .
Love the build, and I also love the screenshot! Great work.
