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 in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]]. It holds two people and is equipped with two high-powered miniguns and rockets. Miniguns on the Buzzard are much more effective than those on the Annihilator - they have a much faster rate of fire, a narrower spread, and are fired both simultaneously, unlike the Annihilator which only fires one gun at a time. They also never overheats, which allows for continuous fire. The Buzzard's weakness is bubble canopy and lack of bulletproof glass, which make danger to pilot and passenger by firing heavy weapons at them like [[M249]] or [[Explosive Shotgun]]. | As mentioned above, the Buzzard is based off of a military class light attack helicopter.

According to in-game speech, the Buzzard that [[Luis Fernando Lopez]] 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. LCPD will call it 'a black/gold helicopter', which is depented by which version Luis uses - the black one acquired by cheats or golden from Yusuf. The reason for it is the helicopter being only one of its kind. | According to in-game speech, the Buzzard that [[Luis Fernando Lopez]] intended to steal for [[Yusuf Amir]] was a prototype, meaning there's possibly only a single one in existence.
