Pave Hawk GAU-21 testing at Edwards

An Air Force HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter fires its GAU-21 .50 caliber machine gun at Edwards AFB's Gun Harmonizing Range Jan. 13. The testing is part of the Air Combat Command's HH-60 Defensive Weapons System Upgrade modification proposal. The modification proposal requires the new weapon to be an open bolt system, have a longer barrel life, a higher cyclic rate of fire, be lighter weight and have reduced recoil. The selected weapon must also be used currently by other Department of Defense services. (U.S. Air Force photo by Brad White)
