A friend of mine also suggested a Mark-19 Grenade Launcher but I'm not sure if Merlins can actually be equipped with that. All I found when I searched was that there are optional gun positions through removable windows, the starboard cargo door and the port crew door.

It can be armed with pintle mounted 7.62 L7 GPMG machine guns, but in most situations isn't (which is why it isn't in PR). The British armed forces don't make use of the Mk.19, and the automatic grenade launcher they do use (though it may still be on a limited basis, I'm not sure if its got an "L" number yet), the H&K GMG, doesn't have a helicopter mount in service with British forces at this time. Also Grenade machine guns like the Mk.19 and GMG have been ruled out for the time being for reasons of gameplay.

By the way, Black Sand seem to have a Huey model for EoD2, how come it's not being used?

Actually, BSS have two Huey models, one from OPK and one from EoD2. Any Huey should be introduced with the USMC as a seperate faction (as opposed to the current combined US armed forces faction).

The Merlin looks cool and is nice to fly as well. It's the only chopper with a working landing gear
