I believe it was always classed as very dangerous indeed to attack a competently handled two seater----cooly directed flexible mounted gunfire would have been very 'mind concentrating'

Though I doubt the benefit of twin mounted Lewis guns--which must have been very heavy to swing around. And yet they were used plenty, so perhaps it is wrong to doubt.........Indeed, in some ways the D.H.2 could be classed as armed flexibly--the notoriuos 'wobbly mount'!
