That applies to any biplane you could add. Most have a top speed in the 200mph area and almost all that I've seen so far are armed with 2 rifle caliber machine guns.

Gloster Gladiators had a top speed of, IIRC, ~265mph and were armed with four .303 machine guns. I believe the CR.42 of the Italians was faster and comparably armed.
