What optics were used for the helicopter shooting session?

During the aerial gunnery session, the team utilized Vortex Razor optics and Vortex AMG UH-1 holographic sights mounted on suppressed AR-15s, enabling high-speed engagement of ground targets.

What safety considerations are important for aerial gunnery?

Safety in aerial gunnery is paramount. It includes clear communication with the pilot and crew, proper firearm handling, adherence to all range protocols, and ensuring safety mechanisms are engaged when not actively shooting, especially from an unstable platform.
