How far is that chopper out? I assume they don't hear or see the chopper.

IIRC the M230 that the Apache has, has a range of 5500 meters so I would say at least 5500 meters out. The Hellfire missiles are 8000 meter range so they had no trouble finding their target lol.
It's not a M230 grenade launcher. It's a 30MM gun. They usually shoot from half a mile or more away but can shoot up to a distance of about 1 1/2 miles. Most pilots can't hit shit at that range though. Hellfires are a different story and also cost the Army over $1,000,000 per Hellfire. So they must be approved to use them lol.
Correct me if I am wrong but the M230 is a 30mm cannon that uses a chain style ammunition feeding system unless I am thinking of something else. And most are fired within 2000 meters in order to accurately hit their target. I could be wrong though since it has been about 7 years since I have really read up on the Apache's. I always wanted to be an Apache pilot by my eye sight isn't near good enough to be a pilot.

2000 meters is over half a mile too
