Why do they call those 'miniguns'?

Don't look too 'mini' to me; and I'm not even down range.

Wonder how much older the Huey is than Cpl. Ingersoll?

Considering that a helicopter is just a loose collection of parts flying, well sort of flying, in formation, it's amazing they are still around. I say "sort of fly" because as everyone knows, helicopters, especially two bladed Bells, don't really fly, they just beat the air into submission.
