Does the cannon's ammo explodes when they are hit ?

The guys asked him what he was doing and he said something along the lines of "No good getting hit with all these bombs inside the wings."

That is the only place where I've read of this taking place.

considering the gun cam footage of lots of 190's wings snapping off just at the point where a large tin of 20mm would be, i can see the logic. also recall seeing the schematic for the armour around ammo bays for the wingmounted mk108s.
