Captured 8x Ho-103 HMG mount?

[mackeebryanee13]

hello everyone!

I came across a weird photo of a Japanese weapon
I wonder if this is a real photo or a photoshopped one.
8 ho-103 machine guns lashed together to make a monstrosity.

Any truth regarding these would be much appreciated.

Thanks

probably photo-shopped because I cannot see how they could route ammo belts to receivers stacked that close together.
