@F104Deathtrap well Soviets makes a lot of monstrosities when it come to planes but some of them worked really fine but others are way to expensive,hard to handle, dangerous, or just way much unachievable
@MarinoYeet The concept is fine, rain small bullets to terrify infantry. The USA eventually perfected it with the AC-47, AC-130, etc. But the Soviets should have brainstormed over their design a bit more before building such a deeply flawed design.
As for planes that could usefully bring many guns to bear, here's a photo of an A-26 Invader firing 14 .50 caliber machine guns at once. The USAF would end up using that plane until the the 1970's because it was so good at ground attack.
There were versions of the B-25 and A-26 that sported more than 12 forward firing Brownings, in addition to turret guns but the Russians experimented with THIS MONSTROSITY that featured 88 downward firing submachine guns.
@MarinoYeet I agree.

@F104Deathtrap I've seen that monstrosity once the design was pretty stupid if you ask me

Since we're talking about fighters it could be either the Hurricane Mk IIB or the Typhoon Mk Ia, both of them with 12 x 7.7mm machine guns.

There was a Miles aircraft design with twelve, but it was never put into production.
