Interesting thread.
Poobs, your buddy merely demonstrated the point that rotor heads were prone to multitasking. 😁
Minigun recoil on LOH wasn’t difficult to control, and after a few introductory brrrrrts it was not an issue. What most fail to recognize is that a door gunner with a M60 was far more deadly as well as protective. Scouts that had been around awhile mostly preferred gunners over miniguns.
Why was the door gunner more effective?
