Now we are talking on MK 108 vs Hispano Mk V so USAF satisfaction or dissatisfaction with their .5 HMGs is IMHO irrelevant. IIRC FAA and RAAF were fairly satisfied with Hispano during Korean War
The point is that it was not developed as an anti-bomber or anti-Il-2 weapon, but as a universal air-to-air weapon, and that it had excellent qualities as a dogfighting weapon in the air combat environment of WW2, in which vast majority of the kills were achieved at ranges of less than 350 m, and most of the kills even at less than 200 m.
