Noetheinner wrote:Yeah, the Gau-17 does have a sight, and I suppose that you "could" use it.We never did though for a couple of reasons. When you focus in on that sight, you are cutting down your situational awarness of EVERYTHING ELSE around you. So not only do you not notice the other 5 guys on the rooftop to your left, but the other helicopter in your flight also. What if you start shooting backwards, your pilot suddenly makes a sharp turn, and now you're firing rounds across the nose of your buddy? Also, the sights were made for range calculations. They actually want Marines to do geometry in their heads while preparing to shoot, aquiring the target, scanning for other hostiles and all that good stuff. Simple math is hard enough for us in a classroom much less anywhere else

We just lined up the gun how we thought it should be and pulled the trigger. Sounds a little bit inaccurate I know, and it is at first. But that's why we train and train and train. After that first round goes downrange, then it's just as simple as walking the tracers on target. Yes, the tracers are how we shoot.

Here's something to tell you how worthless the sights are. When you have an external fuel bag stuffed in the back corner of a Huey, you don't fit back there very well. When you do manage to make it back there (fuel in bag is 1/2 gone, you fold down the retaining straps and make yourself a "seat") it's hard to move from there. You can still see everything, but moving your body is a little bit hard. You shoot the gun with one hand then. When shooting and swinging the gun from full foreward to full aft, you start out with one hand, transfer to 2 hands for the middle, then to your other hand when facing full aft.

Conclusion: Sights = worthless Tracers = priceless

The perception of depth and distance is a lot more realistic in reality, but in PR with a monitor in front of you and mouse to control your gun with, I highly doubt that we can shoot with the same efficiency as those door gunners you speak of.
