each received 40-50 rds, much of it 'large caliber' aka 12mm/.50 cal in the belly. Not sure what the damage to the aircraft actually was
21st,
I've heard much the same from the V-22 community. I may not know much but I do know this, the HELICOPTER I flew in combat wouldn't have flown a mile much less 500nm if it had received that kind of damage. Heck if it had been hit with 50 rounds of 7.62 I'm not sure how far it would have flown.
But I defer to FH and his prowess in all things related to military aviation and pea shooters.
