March 14, 1967. Captain James Henderson sat in his UH-1C Huey gunship watching a Viet Cong battalion cross the Mekong Delta. The VC called armed helicopters "insects"—transport helicopters with toy guns that couldn't fight. Henderson had two M134 miniguns firing 4,000 rounds per minute each and full ammunition. At 2217 hours, he opened fire on 300 VC crossing a river. The miniguns buzzed for four hours straight. Henderson engaged three separate battalion elements and one assembly area. Bodies floated down the river. Ground reconnaissance counted 427 VC killed. One helicopter destroyed an entire regiment because the enemy thought insects couldn't kill.
