Notes
No longer in production
Three versions are shown in our image gallery. One (with the nose cannon and grenade launcher) was an original issue AH-1G that fought in Vietnam, the one with a three barrel cannon was a trainer and never saw combat. The third one shown has a 6 barrel cannon and is privately owned, no history of it is known.
