In the final battle scene, several UH1 ("Huey") helicopters are shown firing Gatling guns and rockets into the battle. While many Hueys were unofficially modified by the ground crews to carry weaponry early in the Viet Nam conflict, the officially armed Huey, the UH1-C, actually wasn't introduced until mid-1966, several months after the battle at Ia Drang. Earlier Huey versions, which often did have door gunners, lacked the power and other modifications necessary to carry the types of weaponry shown in the movie. So, it is very unlikely that any Hueys involved in this battle would have had heavy guns or rockets.
