What is really weird is the helicopter is NOT all metal. It is mostly Kevlar reinforced fiberglass. The pilot even said a .22 would go through it. He then explained that around the important areas(engines, cocpits, hydrolics, electronics, avionics, and such) are in titananium armor. It was so cool

Thats awsome!!! Titanium heli!!! I want one
Most of the body is actually fiber-glass and not metal. The titanium and other forms of armor are only around the vital areas. At least 60% of airframe is fiber-glass.

I was going to say weight -- they would've made everything titanium but it weighed too much, so they swapped fiberglass for the unimportant parts. Of course, then I remembered how much titanium weighs...

The only reason that most of airframe is fiberglass is weight. The pilot said that if all metal the engines would not have enough power.
I am waiting for a blackhawk to come in so i can get pics with me at the minigun.

Dude a f16 has a 20mm gat. Not a 7.62 minigun. Miniguns are on blackhawks, little birds, and some hwmmvs.
