POTD: Norwegian Special Operation Commando – Door Gunner
Norwegian Special Operation Commandos (NORSOC) don’t always ride in helicopters, but when they do they ride the Bell 412 SP with a Minigun on the side. That’s the topic for our Photo Of The Day. Their standard firearms are Colt Canada C8SFW, C8CQB or the Heckler & Koch HK416.
Here we can see one of their door gunners, in a Bell from the 339 Special Operation Aviation Squadron. There appears to be one on the other side as well.

Door gunner seems like both the coolest and most miserable job out there.
I just want to know who posted a photoshop of this picture where he's in a minivan on 9GAG.
