Not really. They do usually have kevlar blankets and panels added to the interior surfaces. Most UH-60s have sand filters on the intakes as well. Pretty much the standard door guns are M240Ds too, not the M60Ds that come in most kits.
Ask over at the Aeroscale (air side of Armorama) Rotary Wing forum and you will get some more replies too.
