Um, from what I read, the NKs used quad 14mm machine guns on the guy. Just a little bigger than our .50 cal Brownings (which in metric shoot 12.7mm). The US had quad .50s mounted on the back of half tracks for anti-aircraft use during WWII, Korea, and maybe Vietnam too. Pretty effective against low and slow aircraft. Maybe a F-16 busting mach flying low might zoom by before an AA crew could point it and aim it, but I would NOT want to be riding in a chopper landing in an LZ that was covered by one of those.

“Your Highness! The peasants are revolting!”
“Yeah, they stink on ice!”
Oh, you mustn’t do that with an anti-aircraft gun!
