Re: A possible "Trommelgerät" in a Bf110 - Photo
Both of you are correct. The top one appears to be an MK 103 (Tony Williams could ID it positively). The center one, is the tested RZ65 installation, with fairing, for the 110 (the 109 had 8 of them faired into the wing). There were manuals created for both installations that I have seen but don't have copies of. And, the last one, was a pair of MG 17s fixed, firing rearward. The installation worked as advertised -- aimed by a periscope mounted in front of the pilot. But, the enemy a/c would have to be permitted to come in directly behind the 110, thus giving the enemy a non-deflection shot at the 110.
