May have had something to do with space available though. 1x20mm + 4x.50 is a pretty good throw weight for general purposes. Would it have been possible to add blister packs a la B25? 1 x20mm + 8x.50 would have been awesome.

If only the additional 4 machine guns and their ammo didn't add more weight, thus reducing range, speed, and maneuvrability - things that are kinda important for a fighter aircraft.
