I've lost a cannon or even a bank of guns on one side and had the resultant yaw skew my marksmanship enough to realize there is something there but firing my guns (even a pair of MK108's) in a low scissor doesn't seem to affect my forward momentum or contribute to one of my wings dropping off from lack of lift.

I read a P51 pilot's account where he states you could no fire at low speed since the recoil could make you stall. Probably it's the same pilot that you describe here.
Now, think to all the vertical fights that we do where the lower plan points if nose up ad fires even if a 150Km/h.
The recoil is modelled, but so much...
