The M16 Armament Subsystem (pictured on the UH-1B Gunship) was a combination of M6 flexible quad M60C 7.62mm machine guns and two XM157 or M158/M158A1 seven-tube 2.75 inch rocket launchers for use with the UH-1B/UH-1C "Huey". An M60A1 reflex-type sight was used by the pilot for sighting both guns and rockets, whereas the copilot's sight was for sighting guns only.
