Some hueys did get M134 miniguns but in small number they were mainly issued to the Air Force green hornets in Vietnam. My old man used to fly with em. The main job for the green hornets where flying behind enemy lines to pick and drop soldiers off. Multiple times they would land on hot LZs to extract special op teams.
There was a B17 tail gunner who was shot 11 times while his tail was disconnected from the bomber, he used the gun to propel the plane forward and he glided down, he broke his skull and was saved by a prisoner in a concentration camp who was a doctor. He died after the war.
My great uncle was a door gunner who passed two years ago. He got out of the army because a round went through his leg when he was loading it. Dude was a frickin legend.
Love this song since I was a high schooler , if I ever get a chance to sneak a phone into my cockpit when I fly for the airforce, I’m playing this song lmao
My dad saved his hole flight crew from a Charlie putting a grenade in the seat of his Huey he was the only one that saw it and threw it back at the Charlie exploding him

My grandfather was a master aviator & Army Pilot instructor, and became General Westmoreland's Huey taxi pilot in Vietnam. After Senator McCain's plane crash and prior to Westmoreland going mainland, the Army sent three full-bird Colonels to interview each and every pilot on base, which were all under my grandfather's command as a Lt Colonel at the time. Each and every one of them said he was "the best pilot this side of the Pacific." He, along with his buddy Jack, were chosen to fly Westmoreland around Vietnam, and when Westmoreland charted a flight path from A to B over an area where he had been shot at or his men had been shot down over, my grandfather would simply say, to the United State's most senior Army commander, "No," then would suggest a new route, and told him "You can fly that way if you find a better pilot." He gained Westmoreland's respect, and they would become buddies over time. Westmoreland sent my grandfather a handwritten letter when my uncle passed away in 1974. My grandfather passed away two months ago at the ripe old age of 93, having lived a thrilling and fulfilling life, leaving behind 22 grandchildren and dozens of great-grandchildren. I miss him very dearly.
Love how its just one of THE greatest metal songs made by THE greatest metal band ever and literal history facts about vietnam and what soldiers went through
One Praise, One Critique The wind up before firing belies that you used audio from a rotary gun of some sort, possibly being a GAU17 autogun so honestly thats not even too big an issue. I just foresee people in the comments wondering about why an m60's audio wasn't used. You did a great job with the sound. The atmosphere behind the music is as important in these memes as the music itself. Don't be afraid to let the latter be taken over by the former.
Thanks for the praise and for the critique, constructive criticism is always important to help improve the content In LZ preparation missions, miniguns were more commonly used, rather than the famous M60, because of the destructive power and rate of fire, that's why I didn't used the sound effect of a M60, and unfortunately I couldn't find an image of a door gunner with a minigun in good quality so I had to use this one with a M60
@@Bill-454 thats exactly what I figured, and like I said it honestly isn't even that big of an issue because, as you said, UH-1s used rotary guns anyways and all the popular images are of M60s
Fun Fact: that was the guy who was originally supposed to play Hartman but lost the spot to the military advisor on the set, that man being R. Lee Ermey

I check out these videos to see what my Dad experienced during his time in Vietnam. I know that sounds weird af but I can't imagine being thrown in a jungle at 19 carrying an M16. He never speaks of his time there and now that I'm older I can understand why.
After watching Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, Deer Hunter, and a few others… I honestly feel like things couldn’t have possibly gotten worse for our boys over there…
Thank you so much. I feel like I have successfully fulfilled my fantasy as a child, being a gunner in Nam! Hell now I can go and claim VA benefits. As a retired 25 year old man and a old Vietnam vet I’m proud of myself. Lol ~ All jokes aside: RIP to the men that fell runnin through the jungle.
My granddad flew BUFFs during ‘Nam, the big Arc Lights missions. Evidently, he was lucky enough that the MiG’s and SAM’s never made it past the Phantoms or Wild Weasels, and he had a very uneventful war. He said it was usually easier than training missions Stateside.

My Pawpaw was a Vietnam vet. Actually, his flag and cap are my profile picture. He was a Huey door gunner from august of 68’ through November of 69’ when he was medically discharged. He said they crash twice and were shot down once. At the end of his service, he was the only one from his original squad left. On their last mission there were two left, him and another guy. They were shot down, and the other guy from the original squad and co pilot died. Him and the 7 others in the chopper survived. Only the right door gunner and what I’m assuming was the co pilot (right side) died because the helicopter crash more on the right side. He was discharged with what I think was a fractured leg or something. R.I.P PawPaw. March,1944- November,2010
But man, being a gunner, especially on "Puff the Magic Dragon", or commonly called as the AC-47 "Spooky", sure must have been an adrenaline fuelled thrill ride
Having been sat next to a Blackhawk door gunner when he let rip with his M134 (to test fire it - nothing that interesting happened) - nothing prepares you for just how LOUD it is, even with double ear protection.
Don’t know much about it, but my grandpa fought, carrying a machine gun on him with m1911. When getting into combat one day him and his squad were encircled with no cover other than a few logs and trees in the jungle, and he told me how he was hiding under a log, with bullets just grazing him, when an jet swoops down and about 50 feet away from him starts lighting up the place. And 7 minutes later Huey’s arrived to rescue him, and his squad
