Agusta-Bell 205BG – Prototype fitted with Model 212 nose and two Gnome H 1200 turboshaft engines.
Is there anything they haven't done to the Huey?

Dunno, but it doesn't look like a gun of any sort, no barrels. 'Tis odd looking and from the shape it's difficult to guess asto function.
The aircraft is a AB212ASW of their navy so perhaps it is some form of ASW weapon or similar.
