I encourage folks to set up a mission where you can aim guns from a stationary bomber (I like the B-25 because of its tricycle landing gear and low height) at a stationary Ki-27 set at a known range.
You will discover that just 1-2 .50 caliber bullets are enough to knock off most control surfaces, and that 3-5 bullets are sufficient to break many other parts of the airframe. There are road signs which stand up better against bullets!

Pump a solid 1-2 second burst into him @ 150 yards. boom & zoom on his starboard side. He shoulda been a fiery stain on the ground.
