While it is a legit evolution, it still reminds me of those Tacti-cool rifles I’ve seen around…

Low? Yes. Fast? Hardly. The whole time I watched, I wondered what happened to his right leg. But the end of the video gives a hint.

Speed is relative… If I say I will run as fast as I can, it still won’t be very…fast.

I don’t know what was worse? Flying that thing or transporting it home again…? :wink:
The dude clearly doesn’t have the same view of safety as I do. But nor does a wingsuit base jumper.

They are seriously just the most epic awesome and badass looking monster helicopter ever created.

Oh, to have a western heavy-lift helo for DCS. Spec Ops, CSAR, resupply. So many possibilities

I thought this little video was interesting in that I saw something I’ve never seen on a Seahawk or Blackhawk before. If you go to 2 minutes, 30 seconds you see that the helicopter appears to have fixed machine guns on each side of the nose.

I think you’re right, they do look like barrels. I guess you can pester surface vessels with them.

I don’t think the guns are currently mounted (barrels only in place):

I believe those are pitot tubes

The UH-60’s have them mounted above the cockpit.

It appears even the older SH-60’s have them mounted on the nose

You both are most likely correct but I dare say they look like machine gun barrels IMHO.

I say they look like sharks with frickin’ lasers on their heads.

Yeah, not to be a party pooper, but they are indeed just pitot tubes.
It would be frickin cool if they were machineguns though! :sunglasses:

Except at airshows, when chicks come up to look, “Why yes miss, those are 49 mm cannons, for dogfighting Mig’s…”.
