sweet pic. That looks tough! Two L96's or something similar. Bad ass helmet.

Probably a gunner, not a pilot, but yeah; bad ass helmet.


Reminds me of this from the new Predators movie.

They are the M240G I believe. The (G) may be wrong but they are 240s for sure. Shoot the 7.62 NATO round.

You're all wrong. That's the next generation of Iraqi postal worker. "Nothing will hinder the mail."

It is the M240B MG. I have fixed many of them. It is the replacement for the M60 MG and the pilot would not be carrying them I would put money on the fact that he would be a aerial gunner. I would expect to see the pilot in a nomex not ABU's also. Look in the eyes you can see the helo in the background. But it does look cool..

[DaveOU812]

I stand corrected on the 240B. Hard for me to tell with out seeing the butt plate. Snccoulter is right though. The pilot is probably a captain or major and they sure as hell aren't doing any heavy lifting. Your also right that he would be in nomex....usually. I personally hated the nomex suits. (cvc's) I'd wear my cammies over that stuff any day. Yea, it might melt onto my flesh but thats just one of the risks I was willing to take. The bird looks to be a blackhawk. I could be wrong. I prefer to keep my firepower on the ground.

[snccoulter]

I hate them also i am to fat to fit in one.
