I have never seen US chinooks with M134s but at least now I've seen UK units.[R-DEV]Eddie Baker wrote:That's a British RAF gunner. M134 is standard on their Chinooks.
Pictures-
Interestingly, they use an M60D as a ramp gun instead of an FN MAG GPMG variant; not sure why. Can any RAF guys shed light on that?
In the US Army they're only on 160th SOAR's MH-47s (like the one in Stealthgato's lower pic), and I haven't heard of any exceptions. Of course, their MH-47s additionally mount M240s in both rear windows and on the ramp. All of the "Big Army" Chinooks I have seen photos of just mount three M240Ds or Hs (front, side-doors/windows and ramp).
Why isnt the chinook armed?

Uh, yes, you have. As I said, Stealthgato's last pic is of a US MH-47 Chinook.Archosaurus wrote:I have never seen US chinooks with M134s but at least now I've seen UK units.
