I've observed this in action. It was used to lay a helicopter trap and downed three Soviet helios (including one of the first 'flying tanks'). Three M1917A1s configured in .303 were situated where the helios were expected to make a gun run on a village. They flew into a steel rain squall. First two crashed landed within a klick, the third pulled up into one of the sheets of rain and dropped like a stone backwards to the ground.
Used a USAAID child's protractor, a plumb bob, and the FT.
Lots of goat for dinner that night.
Allegedly...
