I've never been a fan of the WWII 30mm weapons in a dogfight for all of the reasons that have been mentioned.
One thing that worked against the P-80 is the realtively low ammo load. At 1200rpm, 200 rounds of ammo will only last 10secs. That being said, the combat endurance of the P-80 would be relatively low and the pilot would need to be an accurate shooter to get the most out of his ammo.
