From those pictures it does appear that the weapon has been removed from the turret but it would normally be sporting a 12.7 mm HMG.

cool pics of EC 135

used only as medevac?

**Mike Keenan** · 05-07-2011

No, they are multi-role. I believe there is one fitted as an air-ambulance.

2 EC 135 P2 helicopters are in service with the Irish Air Corps for pilot training, emergency medical services and army support.
