Not the flak guns, only the deck gun.

Magicsub2, I've never paid much attention, because I never use them unless I absolutely can't dive from a plane, though I have used them on ocassion against ships, which I suppose is why you're asking.

How fast is realistic? I don't know. It's either a drum or a belt, so it should take at least a few seconds. Other than that I can't help. It's been almost forty years since I shot a belt-fed machine gun, and we didn't shoot more than one in practice and were in no hurry to reload when we did.
