I have a silly suggestion. It is realistic though, but still silly on the context that it doesn't LOOK good in-game.

It uses AH-1Z as a base. Here's the ArmA 2 Initialization:
choppa3 removeWeapon "M197"; choppa3 removeWeapon "HellfireLauncher"; choppa3 removeWeapon "SidewinderLaucher_AH1Z"; choppa3 removeWeaponTurret ["FFARLauncher", [-1]]; choppa3 addWeaponTurret ["M197", [-1]]; choppa3 addMagazineTurret ["750Rnd_M197_AH1", [-1]]; choppa3 addWeapon "MK19"; choppa3 addMagazine ["48Rnd_40mm_MK19", 48];choppa3 addMagazine ["48Rnd_40mm_MK19", 48];choppa3 addMagazine ["48Rnd_40mm_MK19", 48];choppa3 addMagazine ["48Rnd_40mm_MK19", 48];choppa3 addMagazine ["48Rnd_40mm_MK19", 48];choppa3 addMagazine ["48Rnd_40mm_MK19", 48];choppa3 addMagazine ["48Rnd_40mm_MK19", 48];choppa3 addMagazine ["48Rnd_40mm_MK19", 48];choppa3 addMagazine ["48Rnd_40mm_MK19", 48];choppa3 addMagazine ["48Rnd_40mm_MK19", 48];choppa3 addMagazine ["48Rnd_40mm_MK19", 48];

With this set, it'd be AH-1G model that uses M195 minigun (albeit in game it is M197 as it exists as a weapon). The pilot uses the M197 and the gunner has access to MK19 or Twin M134.
Ammunition load for either would be approx 500 rounds of 40mm grenades (aka 10-11 magazines, I used 11) or 3000 rounds of 7.62 rounds. Could be given either the 4000 mag or the 2000 mag to showcase either.

BASICALLY it'd be a Vietnam era AH-1 Cobra gunship. Excellent against soft targets and flying ones but either decent vs vehicles (MK19) or okay (M134)

Only issues that exist are lack of an actual functional model which would nail the look and colours.
