Or maybe it's a 20mm flackvierling, but I'm not sure. The .50 would be easier to get, but it would be anachronistic for Germans to be using an American machine gun.

it's an M45 Madison mount if I'm not mistaken as I'm away from my books.That is four M2HB machine guns with "Tombstone" ammunition boxes on a mechanical mount linked to one trigger for 2,000RPM.Rockwolf66 22:51, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
