Yes, but only 10 or so rounds could be stored. Since SH4 only has one variable for ROF, you can't model the first 10 rounds with quick reload times then the 30-60 seconds reload times as the next round has to be passed up the hatch from below.
As far as damage (another source of gripe for some people using RFB, and I'm sure the topic will come up), I think Beery is spot on as well. Using "Wahoo" by O'Kane as a reference, on one occasion they pumped 90 rounds into a small freighter before it sank. On another, they shot 80 rounds into another freighter after it took the initial torpedo hit. Morton didn't feel the freighter was worth another torpedo.
Blasting the crap out of a convoy with the deck gun or sinking a medium freighter with 7 rounds below the waterline never seemed very realistic to me.
