Weapon stat difference US v USMC

Check also if one is in a proper fully powered and slewed chin turret (eg on an AH-1) and the other is a wobbly flexible door type mounting. The original designer may have decided the 2 different mounts merited different stats.

Try this ref. also seems only difference in terms generally is related to it's caliber and overall size but technically operate in the same manner. Here's a good weapons site and it addresses the issue at hand, at least I hope!?!

Thanks for looking into this, and for the quick reply. I thought the mounting configurations might the reason for the difference as well, but when I checked the OOBs both weapons are universal for all the helicopter mounted 7.62 rotary barreled weapons. Both occupied weapon slot 192 are used on many different helicopter configurations, i.e. wing mounted gun pods, door guns, and turrets.
