In AW I used to land 4-7 kill missions in the Val and Kate.  I also was piloting a fully gunned B-17 once when we were attacked by 7 Kates.  We got them all but I had to call "bail, bail, bail" at about 2k on one engine and the plane smoking and shuddering.

There was one "Combat Aircraft of WWII" I think by Bill Gunston?

That had a reference to two 7.7mms fixed firing forward.  That is the only reference I have seen to that.

It should have guns, just because.  When AW was happenin' I lobbied for introduction of the secret "Cannon Equipped" B5N.  No one took me seriously though.

See, that is the thing right there.  When I buff-gunned, I carried a 40mm Bofors with proximity fuses.  However, when all these other lame donut studmuffingotas gun, they did in fact carry fly swatters.

This should all be modeled accordingly.
