88 PPSH-41 submachine guns in the bomb bay of a Soviet Tu-2 bomber. Known as the "Hedgehog", it was to fly over formations of enemies and unleash all 88 PPSH-41s simultaneously. This system had a theoretical rate of fire of 79,000 rounds per minute. https://militaryhistoria.com/ppsh-41-over-six-million.../

Might've been more fearsome if it was 80 Degtaryov DP-27s spitting 7.62x54R all at once

Yikes, not that thing again. At least it's better than "cheek pistols" which has to be the most stupid and useless gun fad since, well I guess since forever.

One of the craziest half-track modifications: four 20 mm cannons and two .50 caliber machine guns mounted on an M2 half-track. The guns were contained within an Elco turret that had originally been made for PT boats, known as the Mark 15 Thunderbolt. It was one the most powerful SPAAGs of the war, but the M2 struggled to handle the weight of the turret and the project was eventually cancelled. https://tankhistoria.com/exper.../anti-aircraft-half-tracks/
