Can you identify these rocket launchers?

Forgive me if I sound like a video player stuck on loop or a broken record, but due to my autistic personality and my huge fascination in Family Feud-based questions, I’m finding this style of questioning people very entertaining.

I’m not sure if this or a firearms forum is the correct place to ask this, so I’ll start with you as it’s more related to aircraft-operated weaponry. – Specifically, helicopters.

This……. (is it a) Huey (as it lacks side doors) is sporting some unique looking launchers and they could be useful for my custom CROWS II turret I made with a little help from Payday 2’s SWAT turret. But I need to know these rocket launcher’s basis. Any ideas?

Bear in mind, I’m not an aviations person, I’m a heavy equipment operator. So I have to go with my wild guesses on what military armies favor in their vehicular arsenals.

And since it also sported an army paint job with army logos, I have to assume it’s a Huey for now until I can find something more concrete.

AgustaWestland AW101 = James Bond 007 Skyfall

MBB Bo 105 = James Bond Spectre (unless I’ve got the wrong country flag (Mexico)).

@Gerard Ok, here’s a hint: “General Smythson has informed us that nuclear weapon strikes have been ruled out because of the danger to the civilian population.”

1. the US Amy never used a AS350 ever

2 only in movies rocketpods would be attached to the skids, NEVER in real live, to much vibration!

3 the angle of the rocketpos would be straight forward or with an angle upwarts to compensate for the fall in the 1st meters of the flight of the rockets

 

Picture shows a real live AS550 with rocketpods. Note the position of the attachment to the fuselage and the angle the rocket is fired.

@Gerard What do you have to support that all this is a movie prop?

Not a Huey and not a real rocket pod. All movie props. 

The helicopter is a French build Eurocopter AS350 Écureuil / Astar. Can you tell me the name of the movie?
