Funny thing about that, we only built four Chinooks with guns. Most were the, you-gotta-get-this-shit-there-now machines. Of course there were provisions for the military to add guns for defense but not attack. They often sent attack helicopters as escorts but those guys were always whining, "slow down, we can't keep up".

The max RPM of the blades was 103 RPM, and max speed of the ship 197 MPH.
