On missions I bet that gunners seat was a tad bit uncomfortable, and after awhile
Fritz told Otto that it felt like he was sitting on a picket fence, Otto told him you got problems, I'm sitting on a block of concrete!

The flyer shown is sitting in the radar operator middle seat. Since the shot is taken forwards - as the instrument panel position shows - its presumably not the gunner as stated, but he was the photographer.

Famous WW2 Quote

Let's say this gunner is aboard his Bf 110G
really a tight space, and during a mission
he's gonna be busy.
He has to reload the 60 round drum magazine
for the Schrage Musik (Jazz Music) not an
easy task at night, and in the heat of a battle.
He also has to protect the plane from attack
with his twin-mounted 7.92mm MG81Z this
weapon had a high rate of fire, and he had
between 1,500 and 2,000 rounds.
Check out the radio/gunner's seat looks like
it could be a uncomfortable ride. Anyway, this is my guess.
