There have
been gun deletions (or de-emphasis) in the past, either in whole or in part --
the Tornado F.3 lost one BK 27 (space needed for Skyflash avionics, I think);

The Tornado GR.4 also loses one gun IIRC, and the recce GR.1A and
matching GR.4 version deleted the guns completely (as, from memory, did
the German ECR variant)
