a crazy Idea I have been kicking around it is a remote weapons door gun for a helicopter. now one of the advantages in this role is it does not have to traverse far beyond 180* horizontally lets say 190* max. and it would not have to move beyond 90* vertically. this would simplify the mounting allowing faster movement and simplify targeting. The range of weapons normally being medium to heavy 7.62x51mm to 12.7mm would simplify mounting.

Remember this one? Looks like some one did but I never thought of doing it like this.

Duke takes aim at rotorcraft market with remote weapon station
By: ARIE EGOZITEL AVIV Source: Flightglobal.com 2 hours ago
Israeli company Duke Airborne Systems has developed a remote weapon station it claims will enable utility helicopter crews to complete missions without the need for an attack helicopter escort.

Company chief executive Sagiv Aharon says the full system, including ammunition, weighs 500kg (1,100lb) – making it suitable for use on rotorcraft ranging up in size from the Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk. Aerial trials of the land-proven technology are planned for the near future, and negotiations are under way with potential partners, he adds.

The design uses a capsule which occupies one-third of the cargo space near the helicopter's door, and from which a firing unit comprising a cannon and targeting sensor can be mounted beneath the fuselage using a cargo hook. The unit offers 360˚ firing capability, including an automatic gunfire-location and -suppression function, and requires no dedicated operator.

According to its developers, the weapons station meets balance requirements and weight limitations, and in an emergency the system can be jettisoned by the pilot.

I forgot that episode where Khan's son was a Romulan. I wonder if they remembered to put his name in credits this time.

 

[TerraN_EmpirE]

I checked memory Alpha There is no mention of Any other Montalban. And both his Wiki and IMDB profiles make no mention of his four children ever taking up Acting.
There is Lawrence Montaigne Who played both a Romulan (Decius) and a Vulcan (Stonn) in the TOS but of no relation.
Lawrence in both cases played along side Mark Lenard Who famously played Spock's Father As well as A Romulan Commander... And a Klingon Captain.
The Romulan Captain in that episode is However, Judson Earney Scott who played Joachim in the Wrath of Khan.

I'm talking Khan's son in Wrath of Khan. The one that died in his arms. Yeah I know some people say he wasn't Khan's son but there are those that say he was with his mother being the Enterprise crew member who left with Khan in Space Seed.

 

[TerraN_EmpirE]

Then your talking about Judson Earney Scott who played Joachim in the Wrath of Khan. But he could not be Khan's Son... Well He could be but Here is the Argument against it. There was a Character in "Space seed" named Joachim or rather Joaquin. There is also the Age issue. Judson Scott was 30 years old in 1982, The Character is obviously a full adult. Wrath of Khan Took place in 2285 space seed was set in 2267 Even if Khan and McGivers conceived him on the Enterprise before being Exiled to Ceti Alpha he would only have been 18.

 

[AssassinsMace]

You know your Star Trek canon. 18 years could still be possible maybe with their enhanced genetics.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention Wrath of Khan sort of had a theme going with family members. Scotty had his nephew, Kirk finds out he has a son...
