The UH-60 Blackhawk was made to replace the UH1-iroquois as the United States armys tactical support helicopter. On the side by the doors on both sides there were windows with mounts for weapons. the Browning .50 caliber machine gun was to large to fit in so they used the Vulcan minigun, or a .30 machine gun. When it was entered in service it had improvments made for it but caused the Helicopter to weigh more so the Army ordered an improved Blackhawk, now instead of only being able to lift 1,000 lbs it could now lift 9,000 lbs externally. The Blackhawk could also be equiped with stub wings to carry fuel or variouse armaments(Like forward facing guns or rockets). The army has a contract that will continue to make Blakchawks into 2020.

Apparently... more people die every year by donkeys, then in plane crashes. To avoid death by a donkey, avoid donkeys, to avoid death by plane crash, avoid plan crashes! simple.
M4 is a single/3 round burst gun, it did not serve its role as a compact assault rifle for close quarters, so they made much greatness that is now known as the m4a1 which is so great it has automatic fire, and with that greatness came spray n pray.
M16A4 single/burst very accurate, moderate power, in close quarters, fix a bayonet, cuz you aint gonna hit crap with it.
