I am thinking about starting the Academy 1/35 UH-1Y soon. It looks to be an excellent kit. It comes with two options for door guns; GAU-17A 7.62mm miniguns, or GAU-16 .50 cals. Both look good and are very detailed.
My question: Which is more common or more appropriate? I have seen a few different setups: both sides GAU-17As, both sides GAU-16s, and a mix of one on each side. Any ideas? I know it is mostly mission dependent, just inquiring if one is more common.
GAU-17A
GAU-16
I have also seen GAU-21 (M240D) 7.62mm LMGs fitted.
EDIT: Ran across these interesting setups too. Snipers in the doors.
