Both guns were fired via bowden cables that activated the triggers. The levers that fired them varied during production, but essentially there was a lever on the stick that fired one or both. Grider tells of having his mechanics install a Camel joystick in his SE-5a so that he could fire both guns from one lever. The Lewis (made by BSA) was mounted on a Foster mount that allowed the gun to be run back onto a radiused portion that tilted the gun upward for changing the 94 round pannier magazine or shooting upward via the normal trigger, in the manner that Rhys-Davids killed Voss. Both guns were cal..303 rimmed, often refered to as "rifle caliber ammunition".
