For close support the Bluehawk sports three nose-mounted machine guns with a half ton of ammunition.<ref name=HBPS/>

* The exact image of the Bluehawk has never been specified. As of this writing, the aircraft's record sheet has only appeared in the ''[[Handbook: Major Periphery States]]''. The record sheet is an unusual joint record sheet which had the exact same stats as the [[Protector (Conventional Fighter)|Protector]].
