The video shows the mounting of the M3M, the 12.7x99 mm, 50 caliber heavy machine gun, in an NH-90 transport helicopter. In the NH-90, the M3M serves as a defensive weapon to protect other forces such as SAR helicopters (paramedics). As a rule, two heavy machine guns are used as shipboard weapons: right and left. The doors then remain open during the flight. The mounting of the M3M shown here is part of the training of gunners / door gunners on the NH-90.
In the Bundeswehr, the M3M is used on vehicles and as an onboard weapon of the NH-90 and CH-53 transport helicopters, the Sea Lynx and Sea King helicopters and the Tiger attack helicopter.
It makes sense to turn on the subtitles for this video.
