2 helicopters, one red one white, are suspended from the ceiling of the game. They are attached on opposite sides of a rotating shaft. The gameplay appears to be that the player presses a button to drop a metal ball from the helicopter on to the playfield.
In this video from 長島温泉 (Nagashima Onsen) we can see Bombing being played at 10:44. The game center footage begins at 10:23 and runs to 10:59. It's mostly rides, but there is also a shooting gallery we only see the guns from, and a bowling alley. (does anyone know when this video is from?)
It's not a great angle, but we at least can see the ball dropping.
