in the tail or (nose) in a prone position opperating a gun manualy. I
can't see a problem with this except that the allowable movement would
probably be limited to +/- 25 degrees.


Limited action on a tail gun no problem???? I would say it is rather a severe
problem.


At 350mph to 400mph few other attack angles would be possible. I
expect angels outside of that could be defended by waist guns or
similar low drag arrangements.
