All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I'd hate have to go against that in a Fw-190.

Looks like a piece of movie magic.

No Way is that a b17 ball turret.  Thats more guns then the entire plane carried.

I would guess this is a movie prop.  The age of missiles made massive guns like this on a bomber obsolete

I was playing along with LB's joke. It's a prop from Transformers IV: Why Won't This Franchise Die?

Oh, I know it's not WWII era tech. Quite cool looking though. Might be an add-on to an AC-130. Or could be a movie prop.
