The Midway has their Huey configured as a gunship.

In such configuration, it was armed with two pods of two 7.62 mm miniguns (in other words equivalent to a .308), two M-60 door guns, and two pods of 2.5 inch rockets, with seven rockets in each pod.

Door gunner positions above with what appears to be reproduction of either a .50 machine gun or perhaps .30. I’m a bit fuzzy on machine guns. Sure doesn’t look like an M-60 to me. I’ll make a guess that lots of units reconfigured with .30 or .50.

The Huey was a workhorse during the Vietnam war for med-evac, carrying troops into battle, providing support as a gunship, or as observation platform.

It was used for security, cable inspection, and transport of security teams when I was on active duty in the U.S. Air Force. Occasionally used to transport missile crews to and from the field.
