Ammo doesn't really last very long. 
This airplane has 8 hungry 50 cal. machine guns

The P-47 had eight 50 Caliber Machine Guns.  The nickname of the P-47 Thunderbolt was the Flying Jug, but it was a very potent jug with lots of armor and a whole lot of fire power.  The bubble canopy gave the pilot a clear vision of 360 degrees keeping the enemy from sneaking up on him.
