Do remember that only the first ~2000 A6Ms carried 60 rpg and 100 after that, until A6M5a which had 125.

Compare to main European fighters like Spitfires, BF109s and Yaks, so you see that A6M had rather average ammo count.

All had their own preferences and as we all know, the Americans prefer to spray lead all around.

Worth to mention that late A6Ms also had 1-3x13mm MGs with their 20mm guns and some of those few A7M had 4x20mm guns.

The 13mm Type 3 was adopted at september 1943 and it was based on American M2 Browning.
