Flying Circus — shooting the overwing Lewis gun at an angle?

[Lufberyjaa]

Hi all,

What's the key stroke for shooting the overwing Lewis gun at an angle?

Thanks!

For what it's worth, I saw this happen in a video at about 10:30 minutes here:

It´s left Shift+C (change firing position) by default

Thank you! 

I use that to go to the back seat when flying a two-seater, but didn't think to try it for an over wing Lewis gun.

EDITED TO ADD: actually, I use L Ctrl-C to go to the back seat. L Shift-C is new to me. I saw it in the key mapping list, but didn't make the connection that it would have the desired effect.

It's actually quite counterintuitive, but I suppose the command is labeled that way because, for example, on the Ju-88, one gunner operates two machine guns, and this command is also used to switch between them.
