This is confirmed not just by gun camera footage, but also by anecdotal evidence from a LW veteran who flew the FW-190 in combat.

The comments made by the pilot were with reference to the FW190 A-8 and the Mk108 wing canons.

If he was caught low on return to base he would empty (fire) the wing Mk108's in case of enemy attack from behind and above.

iirc.
