300mph = 440 feet per second. 50 yds would be covered in approx 1/3
second. You'd hit the wreckage

not if you were so to speak raking...and machine guns don't leave
wreckage..,you should see the gun camera footage of V1s and cannon fire.

It depends if the hit the tank / munitions or not.

Nope you don't want to be right behind - remember he is doing 300 mph as
well. so the wreckage iff any has some momentum

But far worse aerodynamics than an aeroplane in one piece.

But yes, if you hit the pilot then the plane just changes shape on the
ground. ;-(
