Default Gunner Firing

It sounds silly, but this is what actually happens in game. I will sit in the back of my own or someone else's Bf110, Ju87, ect. and start shooting at an enemy scout, but after 30 rounds or so the gun will stop shooting, and it will only start working again once the enemy plane has left the area. I'm not sure if the AI is interfering somehow or what exactly is causing the issue (however once a player jumps into the gunner's seat, the AI will stop working.)
I have experienced this issue. The MG will only fire intermittently. Reloads are fine, in the 110 you get the animation, but not in JU88.
