This one was new to me, I had to do some research to figure out what it was. Obviously Junkers, but submachine guns for armament??? Junkers-Larsen JS-12, I found. You learn something new every day.

I think so, but I didn't bookmark it and can't put my finger on it at the moment. It's also on Reddit WeirdWings (naturally) - https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https://i.redd.it/9x3xk1iijzg31.jpg

Found this too, supposedly JL-12 with 28 Thompson submachine guns firing downward by remote control. Very odd trench strafer concept!
