We had a guy killed like that, gun was not cleared properly before being dismounted from the helo. Then the barrels were spun to clear it.
If you open the Safeing Sector/housing cover the gun will not fire, even if you do rotate the barrels to clear out jams.
As to what the recoil does to the helo, On Huey's the gun is mounted on a pintal just like a M60, In blackhawks in can be in the door or the window. Not being a pilot I cant tell you what it feels like to be in control of the bird when its fired.
TR, were the test weapons hard wired into the vehicle for power or did they have a seperate battery?
Im a big fan of the seperate battery, allows you to use the weapon to defend the crash site if need be.
