Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Default (and only) belt is stealth making it easier to catch opponents off-guard

Cons:

  • Slow Firing
  • No belt options and no tracers, it can be difficult to hit flying targets

History

"A variant with much shorter barrels, designated the M195, was also developed for use on the M35 Armament Subsystem for use on the AH-1G Cobra helicopter. This variant fed from ammunition boxes fitted to the landing skid and was developed to provide the AH-1 helicopter with a longer-range suppressive fire"
