I often wonder how those rear-facing machine guns work, to avoid shooting off your own tail. Does anyone know?

Amazing what the human brain can come up with regarding an ugly flying machine!😂

I recently visited this flight training area in Queensland. All landing and take-offs are done from the same end of the airstrip. You obviously wouldn't want both events happening at the same time. I think those trees might be a little scary in a cross wind too.
