A closer look

Looking directly at a problem and having it instantly vanish is the ultimate power trip. The devastating chain guns mounted directly underneath the nose of an attack helicopter don't require the pilot to manually aim with clumsy joysticks. Instead, the gun's servos are digitally slaved to the intricate sensors on the pilot's helmet. Wherever the pilot physically turns their head to look, the massive barrel swivels perfectly in unison. If they glance angrily at a bush, the gun glares right back at it.
