He he, I know this one, so I'll just give a hint:
It fired in two salvos, one of four, the other of five, 0.2 sec apart. Never reached field use:)

Yup, Fliegerfaust.  Fired 9 20mm rockets (modified from regular 20mm cannon round).  Supposed to be effective up to 2000 meters.  Basically, an AA shotgun.

Like many cool looking German weapons, it didn't make it to operational units by war's end.  Do you think you could hit a 400mph plane with it?  :)
