Helmet Fire, Now that I see the Photo I understand you guys took the old articulated, I believe XM-23 system, on the outboard. Pretty neat deal. I dont know if it was as Manueverable as the B or the Charlie but Im sure had plenty of power.
Rocket pods were not bad but Mini-guns. I still get a nosebleed from the noise of the guns behind my ears. Deafening and I think worth a disabilty rating as my wife says I never listen to her. Cant hear is the problem.
Speaking of Mini-guns of any of you folks are ever in Scottsdale, AZ, there is a company called Dillon Precision
http://dillonprecision.com/ they normally make reloading equipment. Anyway the owner owns a Huey, amongst other toys and is developing a mini-gun for the military. They test it out near a place where we go camping. Stop in and check it out.
