(AP) - In this Saturday, Jan. 28, 2012 photo, a crew member of a U.S. Black Hawk helicopter points his gun out of a helicopter on the way from the U.S. Bagram air field to Kabul, Afghanistan. This type of gun could be mounted on at least some medevacs if the Army decided to arm the medical rescue helicopters in Afghanistan. Army officials say installing machine guns, ammunition and soldiers to man them would add roughly 600 pounds to a medevac chopper. That extra weight would limit its ability to fly in some high-altitude areas of Afghanistan plus reduce the number of patients who could be evacuated at a time, the Army says.
