The .50 Browning machine gun that Leslie mentioned was fitted with a "Maxi-Ford" solenoid. This controlled the amount of rounds fired in a burst(3)
The Gunner would fire the gun by pressing a pedal at his feet and he would adjust his aim until he achieved a hit on the target with one or more rounds.
Once the range had been established he would then fire a main gun round (120mm) at the target and hopefully achieve a first round hit
