I'm no helicopter jockey either but isn't autorotating when you lose power to the rear rotor so the craft will start to spin? If you lose power and are going down you will lose power to both rotors hence the spinning?
I'm pretty sure autorotation is when you lose power and land using the main rotor to slow you're descent (over just dropping from the sky) and to continue to provide torque to the tail rotor so you can maintain/change heading.
I know we have at least one Helo pilot here, maybe they'll chime in.

What were all the sparks hitting the vehicle at 1:00-1:08? Ricochets?
The U.S. Military is the only user with enough cash to feed the damn thing!

Its bolted to the truck, the truck takes the recoil.. you can see the truck shift a bit when he is firing.. im sure the heli guy has to lean into it a bit..
We have a winner. Sure it would be great to have, but one long burst and you've just blown through $10k in ammo!
Interesting optic on it though. That looks like one huge Eotech. Then again, the shooter is significantly exposed. Need some armor around that thing.

That would look sick on my moped.
And ^^^ This!That's just awesome...
Anybody else wishing they could go pick up the brass...
it's pretty retarded, you need 100k of ammo and ten leprechauns to hit one goat rapist (assuming gunner knows general vicinity of the hiding place)
During WWI it took something like 5 tones of shells to kill one infantrymen. Wars cost money.

I don't think I could afford the ammo for that. .50 BMG goes for something like $5~7 per round. I feel like I'd hold the trigger for a few seconds and be broke.
