In Ace Combat: Assault Horizon, the M134 Minigun is the only weapon compatible with the MH-60L Black Hawk utility helicopter, and is usable in the levels "Shockwave" and "Lock and Load", where the player plays as Nomad 61 gunner Guns.

The minigun has a very high rate of fire, and can overheat if fired for too long. Accuracy at mid-range is average, but can be offset by the Black Hawk's movement. As well, it does not need to spool up to fire. Like with the AC-130U Spooky, pressing the right analog stick will zoom in for increased accuracy. The weapon can wipe out infantry in a single shot, like all other machine guns, and light targets such as technicals and AA guns with a short barrage of gunfire. However, the SRN's Mi-24V Hind helicopters require much more fire to take down. The weapon can be also used to destroy any incoming missiles and rockets.
