I say it's fake and built specifically for this "Zero Dark Thrity" film. The guy posing in front could be an actor.

i agree with Steal-Sauce too! This a face for movie Zero Dark Thrity
I like the Mega Force guns up front.
wasnt the polygonal shape not all that necessary at the end for the stealth to work?
These aren't guns, they are probably there to make it look like F117's pito tubes

Pitot tubes actually, you can see those on some Navy H-60 (Sikorsky S-70B airframe type) helicopters near the same positions. They actually kinda look like 7.62 gun tubes, but they are far from that. Some things may look menacing/cool, but actually are legit instruments to aid the pilot.
As for this being "real" if what you are asking is; does the military use this? I very much doubt that, it does however look like a pretty good effort in trying to recreate the 'stealth' blackhawk though. However it doesn't look like they are using an actual S-70A/B for this modification, I'm guessing that may have went with something different. I'm not even sure how easy it is (if you had the $$$ of course) to purchase an old Sikorsky S-70, I've heard of 'collectors' buying Su-27 and Mi-24s before, so I wouldn't throw the idea of a civilian owning a Blackhawk out the window...![]()
Its a mock up for the movie, check half way down the page on the link

Rotors are to small for the necessary lift I would imagine.
