I think the "A" in AC-130 means attack. The "C" just mean cargo, but I will stand corrected if I am wrong.

That would sound right since the original airframe was developed and fielded as a C-XXX.
It would be somewhat akin to early gunship versions of the Huey which would gave been the M conversion of the UH-1B Huey, later M models were based on the UH1H I believe.

Either way, that's an awsome bird. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near its firing zone. Just curious...do you know how well it is armored?
