The Lynx AH7 we used to get bussed around in had a GPMG door gun, but would seat 11 including the door gunner. 12 would be a real squeeze leaving the gunner sitting squashed up on the floor!

I believe both AH7s and 9s are still regulars on the orbat but are no longer TOW missile carriers.

Can’t say i can see any armoury on them..for what role are they used??

The mount in the doorway is for a GPMG and they used to carry TOW but I think they have taken over the Gazelle’s A.O.P. and Senior Officer’s flying staff car type duties plus moving up to 12 troops around the battle are fast. I think their old anti-tank role now falls to the Apache.
