There was actually an identical design in the U.S. that used Thompson Submachine Guns. They pointed down and forward. The forum below says it was a Thompson marketing idea, but there weren't any brass catchers and the empties from neighboring guns were jamming each other.

Here is a forum where both systems are discussed:

and some photos of each.
