engine gun
From Warlike
Q134498241
An engine gun, or engine cannon, is an aircraft gun mounted behind and through the cylinder block of an inline aircraft engine with a reduction drive that displaces the propeller axle to be in line with the gun so that gunfire is allowed through the propeller hub. This allows for nose-mounted weaponry on aircraft without the need for synchronization gear while also permitting higher calibers for nose-mounted weaponry, which otherwise would be hard to adapt for synchronization gear.
