  1. 4x .50" focused on a narrow cone? That's gonna hurt, badly.

  2.  @paulmanson253  nose guns have 3 other disadvantages: complicated sinc gear, size limitations (of the gun and ammo load) and a very tight patern of shots. Fighters with all the guns in the wings can expect more hits, by firing a wider cone of shot, even with gun harmonization. Otoh , wing guns require a strong wing, and the Fins limitation of building materials might have constrained this. Nose guns are also easier to aim and don't require range harmonization.
