Hello, I don't have many references - but I've always been fascinated by these. Ultimately they didn't work. In part these designs overlooked the impacts of increasingly power autocannons, in part they forgot the inherent difficulty hitting small and manoeuvrable targets from an airborne...

Not long ago I learned about the Fliegerfaust or Luftfaust WWII German anti-aircraft multi-barreled rocket launchers, which piqued my curiosity. Does anyone know of any other prototypes or projects for unguided anti-aircraft weapons, not tradional anti-aircraft guns but other novel attempts...
