I got my Williams Ambush up and running recently and made a couple videos to show the game play. This is a really cool game and has some interesting features and game play for an EM of the time. The feature that jumps out at me the most is the recoil and muzzle flash. The gun has a series of lights in the muzzle/barrel to simulate muzzle flash during game play. The recoil feature is achieved with a big 110vAC coil/knocker that hammers the gun pivot rod every time it fires a shot. This is almost constant since the gun is full auto and results in quite a jolt that will knock you off target. It is also more severe the higher you aim which makes the helicopter hits more difficult. The glass on this one was NOS and the gun has been powder coated.
I would like to find the manual and schematic for this game if anyone has them please let me know.

remember one video of youtube. found this game so fun :).

..in europe/france it's so hard to get any EM game !! ... i'm in 2nd position to get one, i'm shamed to have seen one for sale.. but just too late . 3 times i call the seller, and he's still waiting the first person who promised him to come :( .
 
I picked my Ambush up from the back of a barn. It was pretty beat, but complete. The amazing part is that the backglass was beautiful. The way the mirrors in the cab give you a sense of depth is awesome. Put some blacklights in there and it really helps, too.
 
That is one sweet looking EM, thanks for sharing.
