The FW 190 installation was a test for a similar installation on the ME 163. The FW had two barrels in each wing holding 50mm HE recoilless shells, designed by Dr Langweiler who designed the Panzerfaust anti tank weapon. These were fired electrically by a light sensitive cell. The Me 163 was meant to have 5 barrels.
