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.
My understanding is that very few loaches had mini-guns, and those that did were pirated by hot shot pilots.
But you wouldn't know anything about that type, would you?
