Tim, Yes... the original B5N had no forward firing MGs, to use as targeting (by means of tracers) --- like what Avenger, Stuka, and Dauntless pilots used to aim their torpedo & bombing runs.
Some later models of B5N1 had factory fixed forward 7.7mm guns on the wings. The upgraded B6N "Jill" still had no forward firing MGs.
I guess the Japanese stuck strictly to the doctrine of bombers only for bombing missions. And no free-lance strafing. Most other countries built their bombers so they could strafe land targets of opportunity, after the bombs were dropped.
