Looks like it would run out of ammo in a hurry. rare occasions for straffing pass by large bombers. (attack bombers such as B-25 & B-26 or A-20s excluded) head-on attacks by enemy fighters tended to be extremly fast with high closing rates at a very vulnerable part of the large bombers. thats the reason for the chin turrets. but firing time would be short
