I was a doorgunner on a huey gunship with the 120th AML Company (RAZORBACKS) from 12/01/1964 untill 2/16/1965 when I was wounded. Brought back old memories.
Thank you Bill for All you did over there. Lost my Uncle Sgt Coley Leon Andrews 12 19 66 Crew Chief Door Guner 173rd Casper Aviation Platoon. Second tour. Hot Extraction. Gave his life so that others may live...
The barrel has been cut including the whole front sight post. This was an in-country mod similar to what the SASR units used. The M60 was modified in many ways with this being just one of them. I carried the Pig. The modified gas tube meant a sustained higher volume of constant fire as it was usually a culprit. If you dropped your ROF you lost effectiveness. Gas Tubes could also work themselves loose.
I guess I never realized that the M60s or miniguns that mounted to the stubs could be aimed. I've always been under the impression that they were locked in a fixed position. Makes sense that the peter pilot in the left seat has the controls over them. The sight in the right seat that flips down is for the rockets that the A/C (aircraft commander) usually fired. Amazing footage, thank you so much!!
Seawolfs could not carry the ammo load as army guns as they had to stay light to land on ships. We , in artmy, were so over loaded the CE and gunner would run along side the guns on take off during hot weather.
+Patrick Ilmoni Ever seen Apocalypse Now? There is some of this in it too. I realize its never everyone's cup of tea but I was going to provide narration over this headspace music. I hope you enjoyed the video anyway.
