Actually if it's a Hurricane MKII it should have 12 MGs (IIRC). But the calibre is just .303 rifle ammo. That doesn't have much of a punch and will even bounce off armoured plane without doing any damage. There is a reason why the Brits shifted to cannons and heavy MGs later. Actually in real life a pilot would have been glad to down 2 enemy planes per mission. In fact they often didn't down anything at all throughout their entire career.
