Sorry if this is an often asked or otherwise dumb question.  I've only read
this group off and on for the last few months.

Just what is the difference between a cannon and a machine gun (at least
as it applies to planes?)  Does a cannon have a smooth bore and a mg
have a rifled bore?  Does a cannon also have an explosive projectile?

Thanks for putting up with me. :-)
