Air firings of the <strong>Heligun</strong> Kit on the OH-6A Helicopter were conducted on<br />
13 and 29 July, 1965 at the Marine Corps Base, 29 Palms, California. A total<br />
of 30 bursts were fired against a truck and other typical small arms targets.<br />
Very accurate fire was delivered into the truck target in short bursts<br />
demonstrating the effectiveness of instant, 6000 shot per minute firepower<br />
against point targets. Suppressive fire against area targets was demonstrated<br />
in longer bursts.<br />
The Hughes. 369 Gun Sight was found to be satisfactory in all respects<br />
with the <strong>Heligun</strong> installed.<br />
The above tests established the compatibility of the <strong>Heligun</strong> installation<br />
in the OH-6A.
