they actually had a number of projected weapons packages;
6 .50s + 4 20mms
6 37mms
8 37mms
8 20mms
8 .60s (yes .60 calibers. i had to check it out myself)
12 .50s
obviously im assuming the continental engines having been swapped for something more appropriate such as merlins as there wouldnt be much justification for building more without doing so.
my cursory research seems to imply that the moonbat would be very versatile like a later mcdonald-douglas product; the f4 phantom. ground attack, anti shipping, long range escort etc.

*Note: given the great dislike of US pilots with the M4 37mm cannon, I suspect
if the bugs were worked out, it would end up with 20mm cannon, so 6xC/3xC.
