Well, I wouldn't go that far, but I think at this stage it should be fairly settled that:

1) there is very little evidence to argue that J-20 probably doesn't have a gun: most arguments basically boil down to not being able to see a gunport, or not having seen a gunport open -- which if anyone even bothers thinking about it for why that is, should realize very quickly that it's completely reasonable
2) there is a lot of reason for why J-20 should have a gun as standard, and very little reason for why J-20 would be designed without a gun
3) if J-20 does have a gun, then its position is likely in the left shoulder position

A second grey J-20A spotted at CAC ... I noticed this "shot over the fence" but thought at first it would be an older image showing both the no. 2013 & 2015 (from February 2015), but these LRIP birds have indeed a significant darker colour scheme than the prototypes.
