So many great things happening in this clip. Above all, I love seeing Marine Air Power. While this is a Huey video, I also noticed the Cobra escort in the distance. Question for the community - Is that a GAU firing from the Huey? The sound of it just made my week.

Capt Brandon Charters The six barrel gun is an M134 Minigun. The single Barrel looks like an FN GAU 21. The GAU 8 in the A-10 is the size of a volkswagon beetle and much too large for a helicopter door gun. Still an awesome video, I love seeing it. Only thing missing is a little "Ride of the Valkyries"
