The Soviet ‘Fire Hedgehog’
What looks to be an anti-infantry experiment - 88 downward-firing machine guns in the bomb bay of a Tupolev Tu-2, giving a firing rate of about 1,300 rounds per second.
Believed to be flown and tested in 1944, and abandoned due to the problems associated with in-flight reloading of the guns.
