Similarly armed with machine guns as the [[Annihilator]], as well as additionally featuring missile pods, the Buzzard is evidently based on an [[wp:MH-6 Little Bird|AH-6 Little Bird]], an attack variant of the [[wp:MH-6 Little Bird|MH-6 Little Bird]] light observation helicopter, which in turn is a military version of the [[wp:OH-6 Cayuse|OH-6 Cayuse]] and the [[wp:MD Helicopters MD 500|MD 500C]]. It's important to note that the Buzzard has the old style tail stabilizer, characteristic of the MD-500C and its corresponding defender/AH/MH-6 counterparts. | Similarly armed with machine guns as the [[Annihilator]], as well as additionally featuring missile pods, the Buzzard is evidently based on an [[wp:MH-6 Little Bird|AH-6 Little Bird]], an attack variant of the [[wp:MH-6 Little Bird|MH-6 Little Bird]] light observation helicopter, which in turn is a military version of the [[wp:OH-6 Cayuse|OH-6 Cayuse]] and the [[wp:MD Helicopters MD 500|MD 500C]].

As mentioned above, the Buzzard is based off of a military class light attack helicopter. This makes it illegal, at least in [[Liberty City]]. It holds 2 people, and is equipped with two high-powered miniguns and rockets. The minigun on the Buzzard is much more effective than those on the Annihilator. It has a much faster rate of fire, a narrower spread, and fires both guns simultaneously, unlike the Annihilator which only fires one gun at a time. It also never overheats, allowing for continuous fire. | As mentioned above, the Buzzard is based off of a military class light attack helicopter. This makes it illegal, at least in [[Liberty City]].

According to in-game speech, the Buzzard that [[Luis Fernando Lopez|Luis]] intended to steal for [[Yusuf Amir]] was a prototype, meaning there's possibly only a single one in existence. The same stolen one was later repainted gold (or possibly ;;gold plated'') by Yusuf - this difference would be first recognized during the mission [[Not So Fast]] where Luis must use it to land on the roof of the Libertonian. | ||
