SG-116 Zellendusche Anti Bomber Armament

My interest in this little known armament system was brought about by a reference to a Fw-190 picture in a prior thread.

After turning to my trusty FW-190 quick guide "The FW-190" by Heinz Nowarra" (1964), I relearnt that the SG-116 armament system was either: (1) Four MK-103 in a rhomboid form in the fuselage (2) six Mk-103 in a double triangular form or (3) three Mk-103 in line with an angle of spread of 2 degrees. This last form was installed in 40 Fw-190F-8s of Jdgr-10in Parchim.

This interesting set up was translated as the airborne douche! Does anyone know whether system this was ever sucesful?
