Air Force and Marine Corps V-22 Ospreys may get a turret-mounted
machine gun, fulfilling a long-sought requirement for a forward-firing
defensive weapon and making it unique among today's U.S. transport
aircraft.
Strange no one is discussing how much such weighs; in an airframe already
short of payload...

its a side to side prop-rotor configuration
hang a thousand pounds on the chin and see what happens
It's belly, not chin mounted.
