Hi all,
May I know what is the XM-134 mini gun set by legend productions for? Isit for Armor or for Helis?
How do we use them?
Thanks
Alex

If you mean this one...
They are a Vietnam era design. I have only seen them with that type mount on guntrucks though.
Which makes sense since the same gun is included in their Gun Truck conversion set (LF1034).
They also do a more modern set intended for modern MH-60 helos and vehicle mounts.

Hi Gino,'
Thanks for the info. I was thinking of mounting it on a Huey Hog actually...
Wonder if it is possible?

Apparently they were used on short-bodied (UH-1B/C/E/F/M) Hueys. They were rare on US Army helos though.
USN Seawolf Hueys.
This is a USAF UH-1F.
I don't think it would work on a Hog though. The miniguns(s) and all their ammo and the Hog FFAR loadout would be too heavy for the helo to get off the ground. The UH-1Cs were pretty much at max weight as gunships with their organic weapons. Adding more would make them over-weight.
They were also used on UH-1Ds in the Nighthawk configuration.
