Yeah the SUU-22 gun-pods they strapped on F4s to try and get them gunfighting ability back in the 60s were a dismal failure. They were so far off the centerline and they bucked around so much (seriously, if you can find a video these things are twisting and flopping like 5-10 degrees as they fire) they were kind of useless.
The Spad has a brace of 20mm cannon in each wing, however, and I'd wager 20mm is an ammo there's PLENTY of.
Plus in a pinch the A1 can carry up to 5 (or is it 10?) troops as passengers (not for air-dropping mind you). Yes.
