In fact it was the HE 111 that was the mainstay of the German offensive against Great Britain during the "Battle of Britain".

Maximum bomb load was 8,000 lbs. and defensive armament consisted of three MG 131 13mm. machine guns and twin 7.9mm. machine guns in each of the two beam positions. – Taken from the 2nd edition catalogue (1963)
