John, if you read Alfred Price's excellent book about the final year of the Luftwaffe, it's clear that they were trying all sorts of schemes to try to win back air supremacy from the bomber fleets, including armoured Fw190s used to ram bombers. This shotgun device is just another such scheme.

Many thanks for the link, Bob .............. sorry for the delay in replying. I was just searching for some details for a friend in New Zealand on 'scharge musik' and knew I had posted this link on the forum.
Cheers,
