Addition of the m16 subsystem for UH-1( all variants)

UH-1 (including all US variations) M16 subsystem consisting of four total M60C 7.62mm machine guns when mounted on both outer pylons. (vehicles this pertains to: UH-1D UH-1B, UH-1C, UH-1C (XM-30)) this setup was commonly used the same way the 7.62mm minigun mounts are used in game. It may seem redundant considering its a nearly identical setup but it would allow for slightly more efficient gun usage as the fire rate of the M60 is around 550-600 rpm while the m134 has a fire rate of around 6000 rpm (and just as a side note: RIDE OF THE VALKYRIES INTENSIFIES :) )(along that note I would like to add that this weapons setup is an iconic setup due to its depiction in the movie Apocalypse Now)

I happen to have an image of this, its quite a cool system, i would suggest making a suggestion for it

Its in DC, i dont remeber where. This is from 2019

probably smithsonian air and space museum then

Maybe? It also might be in the national museum of the US army in Virginia

Yes add them as a stock guns for Huey . While keep M134 as an upgrade.
