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).
