8 guns
Each gun can fire 1,200 rpm (lightened breaches etc for aircraft use)
So thats 9,600rounds in 1 minute.
So if we divide 1,200 by 60 that gives us 20 rounds from 1 gun every second.
20x8=480 rounds from all guns in a 1 second period.
480x3=1440
Moment.
9600 rpm divided by 60 sec is 160.
Times 3 gives 480 rounds for a 3 sec burst from all 8 guns.

Correct.

Not correct.

20 rounds x 8 guns = 160 rounds per second - not 480
(160 x 3 we get back to the 480 bullets per 3 second burst, not 1440)

As said only few of those will actually hit.

Haven't tried CoD yet but managed to shoot down twin engines easily with my poor Hayabusa in IL-2.
But I never shoot at 200-300m - I open fire earliest when at about 120-150m, down to 50m or so. One short burst will smoke an engine. If aimed accurately that is.

So out to those who play CoD: how do those 0.303 perform in CoD when you get close in, aim at and hit porperly an engine?
