The M230 Chain gun is the 30mm Autocannon commonly mounted underneath the American AH-64 Apache Helicopter Gunship. It was originally developed by Hughes, but is now manufactured by Alliant Techsystems. It has been in production and in use by the American Military since 1975 and is still in use today, most notably as the gun mounted just underneath the nose of the famous AH-64 gunship.
Obviously Hollywood Movie armorers don't own or use the M230 30mm Chain gun, as it is always seen mounted under an AH-64 helicopter gunship. The only appearances of the real gun are when the U.S. military assists the movie production, as in the film Fire Birds, or when stock footage is used. The vast majority of AH-64 gunships in film are now computer generated creations as are their M230 guns, but for informational purposes, we are listing the real weapon here, since that is what the gun is supposed to be.
