Came across this pin on Pinterest. Not that I'd ever want to send a Sea Knight (Boeing Model 107) into combat in a gunship role, but it's an...interesting...concept.
If I had to hazard a guess, I suspect those "wire-guided" missiles are the MGM-21 (license-built versions of Nord's SS.10).
And I have no idea how that recoilless rifle would work. "Swing down into a forward-facing position"? Really?
Unfortunately, I can't find the actual Pinterest page, but I also found this image of a Chinook "gunship":

Unfortunately, I can't find the actual Pinterest page, but I also found this image of a Chinook "gunship":
- XM75L 40mm grenade launcher in the nose (similar to the AH-1G Cobra)
- at least 1 (if not 2) M61 Vulcan cannons mounted in sponsons on the belly (fixed firing forward)
- AGM-12 Bullpups on the rear sponsons (1 each)
- Retractable "armature" launchers for maybe 6 sets of 2.75"/70mm rockets (individual tubes racked together, versus the later podded types)
- Not sure how they'd launch them, but also apparently carried 10 AGM-12 (SS.11) wire-guided missiles.
