That can't be right though. I was under the impression that the first time they saw combat they were slaughtered, or at least soon after it was determined they had no forward armament.
And what were the designers thinking? 4 .303's is not a lot of firepower, especially when you factor in the difficulties of gunner accuracy. And then to have them try to take down medium bombers with those guns...

The rockets didn't hit him but but they must have scared the bejesus out of him, for he did a steep turn to starboard... I let him have the full blast, all eight fifty-calibers. I had never seen an aircraft completely disintegrate in the air the way this Me-110 did..."
