Hi,
i wanted to know what the UK's Little Bird is. Do they actually have something like that or do they use the original little bird?  |

Gazelle is observation and reconnaissance helicopter, but they are completely different to Little Birds.

Yes, but I havent seen many around with guns apart from one with 2 guns but I have only been in 2 years. Dont think they really but guns on them because it would reduce the Gazelles top speed which is quite fast anyway.

It can have a pair of GPMGs strapped on the side, but it usually flys as an unarmed ABFAC/AOP Source
Really its closer to the OH-58 Kiowa than the OH-6/AH-6 Loach which are specifically for SF support in their current role |

The key to modernising any weapon is covering them in glue and tossing them in a barrel of M1913 rails until they look "Modern" enough.
