Gotta love the eagle-Owl and it's 'Schrage Musik', great looking aircraft and formidable too...

for those out of the loop....

Schräge Musik, derived from the German colloquialism for "Jazz Music" (the German word "schräg" literally means "slanted" or "oblique"; it also has a secondary meaning of "weird", "strange", "off-key" or "abnormal" as in the English "queer"), was the name given to installations of upward-firing autocannon mounted in night fighters by the Luftwaffe and Japanese Imperial Navy during World War II. This allowed the night fighters to approach and attack British bombers from below, where they would be outside the bomber crew's field of view. The two MG FFs or MG 151/20s 20mm cannons mounted in the cabin or fuselage at a 70 -80 angle were aimed by a second Revi C.12/D or 16B gun sight mounted on the canopy roof. 'Schrage musik' proved to be lethal and took a fearsome toll of heavy bombers in the night battles of 1944 - 45.

Very true mate, did you ever see that me163 comet they fitted with 8 upward firing mortars that had a photo sensitive trigger so the shaddow of the B17 set them off, weirdest thing ever they really were miles ahead of us America and Russia for technological ideas, completely the wrong ones for that stage of the war but amazing and ingenious non the less!
