Anyway, if you fit the plane all with tracers, this will give you more of an indication of the rate of fire (which is still a bit low considering what is supposed to be spewed)

The fact that you think weight of fire is irrelevant just proves that you're only interested in what you think about this. Why is it irrelevant?
My knowledge on the this subject is good.
I'm well aware that the RoF of the 8 x .303 is 160 per second, I'm also well aware that the grouping from a moving platform into a moving target would not be tight or as you put it hitting a 'dime'. There are simply too many variables. Also as I said earlier I'm talking RL.
So, why did the RAF change over to cannons, why did the LW remove AP from thier ammo belts? Why didn't every german bomber that was hit with a good burst not fall appart? Because it's not as simple as you're trying to make out.
What exactly is your point? That you should be sawing aircraft in half?
