Jeez. As they added extra requirements, then the prototype flew and proved that it was a little too slow, I don't suppose it crossed anyone's mind to remove some of the ten guns to save weight. Maybe the pilot could make do with only eight cannons, or (gasp!) merely six. And let's not bother seeing if there might be a more powerful engine after all this delay. Then again, considering the alternatives that were putting on a good show already, that does sound like a lot of pointless effort.
