“The Whole Nine Yards”

The phrase “The Whole Nine Yards” originated with W.W.II aircraft .50 caliber machine guns ammunition belts. The .50 caliber, both in heavy bombers and in fighter aircraft had 27 foot ammunition belts. One large ammo can held a 27ft belt. It became a common phrase to say that a pilot or gunner “gave ‘em the whole nine yards” Emptying the whole 27 ft. belt into the enemy.
