Supposedly only the M3 variant which made it out after the war was reliable enough. Well actually it still jammed, but was made to unjam.

Hard to say how AN/M2 really performed, since very few fighters had them.

F4U-1C had 4x20mm, but only 200 were made.

F6F-5N had 2x20mm + 4x12.7mm, but it was night fighter with radar so likely there wasn't so many either.

F8F variants with 4x20mm were made after the war and used the AN/M3 already.

I was surprised that the original F8F-1 which were build during the war, only had 4x12.7 with total of only 1250 rounds.
