Hajo L. Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 So far I learned that the actual HH-60s have new door mounts for their guns, with the ammo-boxes outside on the sponsons. Question now is: Do they always carry a mixed combo of a .50 cal on one side and a minigun on the other? Is there a rule on which side the minigun is? Are these boxes of symmetrical size, although they carry different ammunition? (12,7mm and 7,62mm). Thanks a lot! HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 (edited) The boxes are the same size and can be loaded with either ammo type. It is up to unit SOP or crew preference as to the weapon load-out of 2 GAU-2s, 2 GA-18 .50 cals, or one of each. Here is the external weapon mount / ammo set-up. GAU-18 .50 cal GAU-2 (M134 Army designation) minigun Edited February 28, 2007 by HeavyArty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
druss135 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 GAU-2 mini-guns on both sides probably 95% of the time. Don R Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hajo L. Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 Model is coming good so far (maybe will do some pictures later), one of my future problems will be: Where do I get 6 Flare/Chaff-launchers? I used 1/700 ASROC-launchers for my SOAR Nighthawk, but now I´m depleted with these tiny little launchers... HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
