Female ferry pilots

Just got back from Shoreham Airshow, and I am now confused. I had understood from various sources that female ferry pilots during the Second World War were not given any ammunition. This afternoon, the commentator was talking about various shoot-downs scored by women. Can anyone clear this one up?

(Has to be said that the commentator insisted that a Hercules with straight prop blades and underwing tanks was a 'J' ).
