They're boresighting the guns in that painting of the AVG P-40B Andrew. Presumably a lot trickier than in other comparable types because of the need to fire the synchronized 50 cals in the nose. This would be why they're doing it with the engine running and guys holding the tail down; must have made the whole experience rather exciting I should think. It's a great painting isn't it?

Re: THIS or THIS! Will your guns fire?
a sight seen throughout WW2 of essentially calibrating the aircrafts guns, esp considering how pilots often had a say in where they wanted the convergence at. I believe Bader was famous for having his concentration rather alarmingly close so he knew 100% that anything he hit in his cone of death was a kill.

Hah! I almost thought it has one (although i wish it did) It weirdly reminds me of the X-Wing and I wanna use it to fight off the Empire Scum..

I’m all for options. If you want it to fire, that’s what the Spit was designed to do. If you don’t want it to fire, then don’t.

There is also an add-on that you can be hit within certain parameters of position in relation to the bombers such as the following
