I worked on those things in the 80's they were also used as door guns on Hueys. I got to fire 600 rounds while flying over the swamps of SE Louisiana and belive me 600 rnds ain't nothin when the gun pumps 6000 a min.

They worked good but the aircraft only carried about a minute and a half worth of ammo. It knocked about 8 knots off the airspeed, too.
