Hey, me again.

How about an Apache capable of carryign Two marines outside the cockpit "as seen on tv" recently on current British operations in Helmand?

Like the Apache in the picture above, kindly modeled by US Forces.

Worth the idea or just hassel? Might even stop people Team killing for helicopters.

Discussed straight after the event.

Having troops hang on the side is not standard procedure by a long, long way and so will not be seen in PR.

Not a chance. Its not common practice, very rare.

So no-

Marines on Apaches
Marines on Cobras
Miniguns on HMMVWs
Daisy Cutters
Nukes

The word you're looking for is CAN, as in, it CAN happen, but it really shouldn't.

Sorry, but this thread has to be locked, it won't go anywhere.
