[M-cubed]

Dunno quite what you are talking about, but if you had ever seen the rotating drum feed trays of 20mm the gun pod used, that had to be synched perfectly with the gun, it was a clusterf**k. Hughes Aircraft really sold the navy a pig in a poke with that one. <<

I'm talking Lo-Tech here....lol.....I flew Hughes OH-6 helicopters for awhile and they came equipped with a mini gun that was absolutely useless for an observation helicopter....another pig in a poke!...we gave the mini guns to the gunships and went back to the old tried and true M-60 hanging off a bungee cord (a can of C-rations fit perfectly onto the M-60 and made a perfect feed device!)

Got it, smooth the ammo belt feed. Only used M-2 .50 fed from an ammo box hanging off the side so did not need that tweek. Should have checked out what the guys that flew on the gunships did. They had M-60 door guns.
