Ммм. Возможно я заблуждаюсь, но что такое М-10 ?
До Р-63-А9 стояла М-4, а с А-9 - М-4Е3...
собственно по М-10

Большая таблица по разного рода gun'ам,начиная от 7.62 заканчивая
чудовищами ,включает искомую М-10 и предыдущую М-4 Кусок оттуда:
The Browning M4 was installed in US fighters such as the P-39
Airacobra and early versions of the P-38 Lightning. (See Note 1.)
This was a slow-firing cannon, with a low muzzle velocity and a
limited ammunition capacity, but for its calibre it was light. It was
intended to destroy bombers from a distance, but its performance was
not sufficient for the task. Nevertheless, Lend-Leased P-39s and
P-63s with the M4 gun proved effective medium-altitude fighters on
the Eastern Front. A later development, the M10, had the feed
mechanism modified for a disintegrating belt, a change that allowed
ammunition to be increased from 30 to 58 rounds, and was combined
with a higher cyclic rate. This weapon was installed in later models
of the P-63 Kingcobra.
A single P-63D was armed with an M9 cannon, a very different weapon,
far more powerful but also far heavier. Its 37x223SR cartridge gave
the same HE round as the M4 a considerably higher muzzle velocity.
One of the types of ammunition available was a 752 g armour-piercing
projectile with a muzzle velocity of 930 m/s, and at a distance of
460 m this penetrated 60 mm of armour plate. At the same distance the
M4 could penetrate only 20 mm of armour. It is obvious that the M9
was much better suited for ground attack, but apparently it was too
heavy for fighters. It was also experimentally used on a number of
attack aircraft, but its only service use was at sea.
