The tail guns on the D3A1, B5N2 and all the guns on the G4M1 should have to replace drums.  The 20mm gun in the tail of the G4M1 used, I think, 60 round drums.

H8K2, if ever added, would have the same kind of 20mm cannon as the G4M1 has in the tail.

That is the thing though, with the slow rate of fire and the number of rounds those 7.7 Jap magazine carry, it probably isnt going to make much sense in coding in a reload time because there is bound to be a long pause between the times they are going to be used.  A B5N moving at 200mph is getting attacked by a 300mph+ F4U doesn't have much time for "time on target" before the F4U is off and away setting up for the 2nd attack pass.  Same goes for the G4M and Ki67 defensive 20mm's as well.

Ki-67 wouldn't be affected.  It has a belt fed Ho-5.

If you watch documentary footage of US gunners working the bofors they load the clips in as they're going down, thus keeping a constant stream of fire.
same could be said for the wirble and osti, but not the M16 because they're not that style of weapon.

If your gonna fail, do it in such a way that people will be wondering how you managed to do that.

If it cant be fixed with duct tape, it cant be fixed at all.

Only in part for the Wirbel. You couldn't sustain full ROF that way, the gunner had to alternate between two gun barrels each.

+1 I get shot down by WW's enough give them something to so that it is not a constant wall of lead.  When they are shooting at you when you can't even see their Icon, because they don't have to worry about control fire.
