I also forgot to make it clear ( just in case it isn't :) ), that the F-117 in real life doesn't have a machine gun, nor does the F-4G Wild Weasel, sure regular F-4s have a cannon, but the gun on the F-4 was removed to fit in a larger radar system, when it was modified for Wild Weasel missions :).

At least Project Aces showed some restraint in not giving the B1 and B2 bombers air to air missiles and a machine gun.

Funnily though the SR-71 Blackbird, still officially the fastest manned terrestrial aircraft (as oppose to things like Space Shuttles, which flew faster in space), at least in testing or on it's prototype, the A-12 had a machine gun...pointing backwards out of it's tail for air defence, though it was soon realised that such an armament would be unnecessary, as in mission areas the aircraft would be flying too fast for any attacking aircraft or missiles to hit it! :).

(Maybe if the U.S. enemies had their own SR-71 to chase and attempt to crash into it, the gun would have been useful, btu they didn't! :) .)
