Hi all,

Hope this is the right forum, but I have a question about a photograph and the door gun on the helicopter portrayed.

It's a pretty famous incident, covered in Time, from the Vietnam war involving photographer Larry Burrows.

I've seen different captions identifying the gun differently, but mostly commonly as an M-60. If I remember correctly, an M-60 is .308-caliber?

Thanks for the help. Here's the pic:



The url if that didn't work:

M-60 machine gun 7.62mm .308

Thought as much, but saw it captioned differently in a book.
Thanks.

M-60 machine gun. Thats what it looks like, and thats what I say it is. And if thats what I say it is, then thats what it is!!!

If that's the case, then maybe I'll just start asking you all my questions . That way I can get an answer right away :-)

You can if you want, i'll do my best!

Ha Ha!

Yup, M60.
I can't tell from the location of the crewmans hand if it had the 50cal 'spade' grips or the ground use buttstock and pistol grip.
