Hi Phantom, the P-80C Shhoting Star had six 0.50-in machine guns, and it could carry two 454 kg (1,000 lb) bombs and 8 rockets.

I know the F-80 is not exactly a modern fighter, it isn't even in service any more, but I have had such a time figuring out what the plane was capable or carrying. I have info that says two hardpoints, some that says four. I consider at least four, as the wingtips are hardpoints, but I am so confused. Can anyone who KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT help me out here. If you can tell me a list of stores (weapons, fuel tanks, etc.), how many of each it can carry, as well as how many hardpoints. Rockets are what really have me confused. Thanks a lot.
