Fake GE M134 Minigun

An M134 minigun is seen mounted on one of the UH-1 choppers during the famous raid scene. Its possible this weapon is a prop as the M134 was a new weapon at the time. It is more likely that the M134 was simply what was mounted in the helicopter by the *Laos Army, who loaned all the helicopters used to film the scene. The M134 would have been unlikely to have been deployed at the time and place of the setting.

  • Apocalypse Now was filmed in the Philippines who also provided the helicopters.


sorry that´s not true, in part the Us army used the minigun since 1964 (was designed one year before)it was used on cobras and loaches as main weapons, the fake on the movie it´s the mounting, no miniguns was installed such way (in the doorgunner post),but it was installed just in the center of the aft cab, due to the weigth of the guns and ammo.
