    Some hueys did get M134 miniguns but in small number they were mainly issued to the Air Force green hornets in Vietnam. My old man used to fly with em. The main job for the green hornets where flying behind enemy lines to pick and drop soldiers off. Multiple times they would land on hot LZs to extract special op teams.

      There was a B17 tail gunner who was shot 11 times while his tail was disconnected from the bomber, he used the gun to propel the plane forward and he glided down, he broke his skull and was saved by a prisoner in a concentration camp who was a doctor. He died after the war.

    One Praise, One Critique
    The wind up before firing belies that you used audio from a rotary gun of some sort, possibly being a GAU17 autogun so honestly thats not even too big an issue. I just foresee people in the comments wondering about why an m60's audio wasn't used.
    You did a great job with the sound. The atmosphere behind the music is as important in these memes as the music itself. Don't be afraid to let the latter be taken over by the former.

      Thanks for the praise and for the critique, constructive criticism is always important to help improve the content
      In LZ preparation missions, miniguns were more commonly used, rather than the famous M60, because of the destructive power and rate of fire, that's why I didn't used the sound effect of a M60, and unfortunately I couldn't find an image of a door gunner with a minigun in good quality so I had to use this one with a M60

    My grandfather was a master aviator & Army Pilot instructor, and became General Westmoreland's Huey taxi pilot in Vietnam.
    After Senator McCain's plane crash and prior to Westmoreland going mainland, the Army sent three full-bird Colonels to interview each and every pilot on base, which were all under my grandfather's command as a Lt Colonel at the time. Each and every one of them said he was "the best pilot this side of the Pacific." He, along with his buddy Jack, were chosen to fly Westmoreland around Vietnam, and when Westmoreland charted a flight path from A to B over an area where he had been shot at or his men had been shot down over, my grandfather would simply say, to the United State's most senior Army commander, "No," then would suggest a new route, and told him "You can fly that way if you find a better pilot." He gained Westmoreland's respect, and they would become buddies over time. Westmoreland sent my grandfather a handwritten letter when my uncle passed away in 1974.
    My grandfather passed away two months ago at the ripe old age of 93, having lived a thrilling and fulfilling life, leaving behind 22 grandchildren and dozens of great-grandchildren. I miss him very dearly.

    My Pawpaw was a Vietnam vet. Actually, his flag and cap are my profile picture. He was a Huey door gunner from august of 68’ through November of 69’ when he was medically discharged. He said they crash twice and were shot down once. At the end of his service, he was the only one from his original squad left. On their last mission there were two left, him and another guy. They were shot down, and the other guy from the original squad and co pilot died. Him and the 7 others in the chopper survived. Only the right door gunner and what I’m assuming was the co pilot (right side) died because the helicopter crash more on the right side. He was discharged with what I think was a fractured leg or something. R.I.P PawPaw. March,1944- November,2010

    Don’t know much about it, but my grandpa fought, carrying a machine gun on him with m1911. When getting into combat one day him and his squad were encircled with no cover other than a few logs and trees in the jungle, and he told me how he was hiding under a log, with bullets just grazing him, when an jet swoops down and about 50 feet away from him starts lighting up the place. And 7 minutes later Huey’s arrived to rescue him, and his squad
