Chin Mounted 20mm on the Bf 109

Does anyone know the history and details of this 20mm cannon armament modification on the Bf 109?

Electrically primed ammunition--obviously--the motor mounted 20mm was mechanically primed, so that might have created confusion for poorly trained ground crews, but why wasn't this idea adopted?
