Pat in foreground are off duty.
Me in full battle gear, Keech "clowning".
The operating end of our mini-gun. One trigger fires 2,000,
the other trigger fires 4,000 rounds per minute.
The ammo box holds only 1,800 rounds. This means I have less than
1 minute of firing per mission and its time to re-arm.
I have to fire in short bursts to conserve ammo.
Reaction when the mini-gun goes down.
This is the gunner's seat right-hand side of Trail Bird with
M-79 grenade launcher at the ready.
