The weapon's in use: the USAF and Navy Combat Search-and-Rescue helos use 'em for suppressive fire when making rescues, and the Army's 160th Aviation Regiment also uses minis on their Blackhawks. When you're trying to make a pickup behind enemy lines and the bad guys are coming to (a) stop you, and (b) get as many potential POWs as possible, a minigun or two on a helo are mighty useful to have.
