Some aircraft cannon shells have a self destruct fuse. I remember I read somwhere a distance of 1100 meters/3 seconds mentioned as self distruct distance for 20mm Mg151 shells. I could be wrong about the distance and of course the MG-FF may have a different fuse.
That's what you see in the clip. The 109 was around that range and his shells exploded just under the Blem, but stil do nice damage.
