From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Firing upon sensing the shadow would be nonsensical, since the shadow depends on the angle of the sun, which varies widely during the day. However, firing when a plane was detected as a contrast towards the bright sky, the angle towards it is known, and in case of a skilled operator, who flies steadily with the same speed beneath the enemy plane and knows to maintain the proper distance, a hit would be almost guaranteed. I guess the point of this weapon was that usually bombers did not have a weapon that was able to fire at an enemy plane at this angle.
