Cool. Thanks for the information.

If you fire at any target from dead six with MGs, you do little damage. The angle of impact seems to have an effect on the bullets and from this angle the bullets come in to flat on the target, that they simply bounce off it, if it has the slightest armor. This is especially true for planes with nose-mounted guns, as the angle is even lower than from a wing-fired gun at short range and short convergence. You can see a similar effect with the 50s on a P38 against armored targets.
