The XM3/M3 Armament Subsystem for the UH-1 helicopter (which mounted 2 boxes of 24 tubes on either side of the aircraft as mentioned before) also was set up to only fire in pairs, as to prevent the helicopter from being horribly lopsided. The best part of the M3 armed helicopters is that they were organized as artillery for Air Cav units (Airborne Rocket Artillery or ARA), and operated as such, providing very on point artillery fire in support of operations.
