Aeriel Gunners load the cannon in the C-130 for the USAF, but who actually is the one to aim and shoot it?

Question

ah ok, it was my understanding that the aeriel gunners only loaded the cannons.

thanks for the info.

Answer 1

Aerial Tail Gunner....Load and shoots the weapons

The aircraft is AC-130 Gunship

Answer 2

The Aerial Gunners, who are actualy weapons specialist on flying status, load and maintain the weapons.

There is a complex computer controlled system that is aimed by a Weapons Officer.

When everyone on the crew has hit their Consent to Fire button,

It is the pilot, looking through a side mounted Heads Up Display (HUD), that actually Pulls the Trigger to fire any and all weapons on an AC-130 Gunship.  

Answer 3

Someone controls the shooting and aiming from a computer. Yes the aerial gunners only load the cannons. If you want to shoot try to get on an HH-60 Pave Hawk.
