A Supermarine Spitfire can fire its guns for approximately 10 to 15 seconds of continuous fire before running out of ammunition, depending on the model and the type of guns installed. The Spitfire typically carried eight .303 Browning machine guns, with a total ammunition load of around 1,200 rounds. Pilots would often fire in short bursts to conserve ammunition and maintain accuracy during combat.
The Spitfire had 8 Browning Machine guns each with a 300 round magazine firing just about 1200 rpm. Full on guns a blazing would give it about 15 seconds of fire...give or take a second or two.
A Supermarine Spitfire's cannon and machine guns could fire for approximately 30 seconds of continuous operation before overheating or running out of ammunition. The Spitfire was typically equipped with eight .303 Browning machine guns or, in later variants, a combination of machine guns and 20mm cannons, which limited sustained fire due to ammunition capacity. Pilots were trained to use short bursts to maximize effectiveness while avoiding overheating.

muskets, and guns, (pennsilcainians used rifles)
18 for long guns; 21 for hand guns
It could only fire for 6 seconds per burst, so as not to overheat the barrels. I believe in most P-51 s each gun had about 360 rounds.
At cruise speeds a Spitfire could fly a little over 4 hours.
No! Machine-guns are long range weapons, they can fire up to more than 1,300 meters away! But the thing is that machine-guns can fire more than 3,000 bullets per minute.
