You have to wait for the gun as it is, this is just an extra layer of prevention, switch it on switch it off
I think i see what hes getting at. The Mini-guns on the side of the blackhawk run off of hydraulic pressure from the Utility System on the BH (3000PSI est.) which allows the barrel to spin. If the turbine isnt spinnin the barrel isn't turnin.
For a real world idea for most poeple, if you recall Blackhawk down, they weren't using the mini-gun but using the sides of the chopper for cover.
+1 in that respect
