Hi WW1 Ace,
Go to this address and you can see a closeup of the gun. http://users.erols.com/hyattg/usmcguns/atimsd.jpg The bronze device on the bottom of the gun fires it. Best, Dave W. |

That absurd sticky-out-there thingy is entirely Hollyweird. It bears zero-zip-zilch resemblance to The Truth, and apparently was added just so the audience would know what was happening.
One of the few genuinely authentic items in The Blue Max was Ursula's Towel. B) I don't recall what was depicted in Richthofen & Brown 'cause I only saw it once and wouldn't bother to see it again!
