Undefined automatic cannon

Messerschmitt Bf.109 shoots from an automatic cannon at Polikarpov I-16 during air combat. This gun has a low rate of fire like as MK 103. But this weapon was appeared on Bf.109 only in 1944. Also Bf.109 has two cannons in the nose in this movie. I guess it is fictional version of the Messerschmitt Bf.109 fighter.
