The short-barreled Madsen LMG's they used are very cool looking.

A photo of it is here: http://world.guns.ru/machine/mg64-e.htm

Great Picture Peter

After much study I've concluded we are viewing a very clever piece of teamwork.

The guy on the left sits in the harness, and keps his eyes fixed on the sights. Should anything pass into those sights, he fires. The guy on the right looks out for any enemy aircraft, and on sighting them, pulls the harness, swinging his partner into action!

Notice the guy in the harness has some kind of a strapping around his lower leg, and the heel of his boot appears to be connected to a small wire ring around the bottom of the gun mount, assisting the swing and maintaining his stance! :lol:
