Ok, harmonisation patterns, dispersion etc, are rather easy to calculate so I'll give you some references on aiming which, I believe, is a key factor on hitting probability. I dug up this kind of material from the PRO some time ago and some of these might be the same Peter Verney refered above:
AVIA 6/16177
This is RAE report on aiming simultor but it contain some flight tested data.
DSIR 23/15015
This comparison of various fighters as aiming platform.
AIR 20/12712
Aerial gunnery theory, lots of it...
AVIA 6/17286
Effects of aiming and harmonisation patterns in air to air gunnery.
AVIA 18/1626
Aiming characteristics of fighter aircraft
AIR 77/62
Review of the Aiming errors and firing tactics of Fighter aircraft. This report is particularly good because the sources include for example Luftwaffe gun camera data.
