So the Apache has more of a rocket launcher?
The AH-64 Apache has a wide variety of possible weapons load-outs depending on its mission. The M230 30mm chain-gun is the only weapon system that is installed in the airframe. Everything else goes on the pylons. Guided missiles (usually the AGM 114 Hellfire, up to 16 of those), 2.75"/70mm FFAR's (up to 76 of those) gunpods, external fuel tanks, etc. It's a very flexible system. https://www.flying-tigers.co.uk/2018/boeing-ah-64-apache-new-corgi-aviation-72-and-jc-wings-arrivals-and-hobbymaster-updates/
In the video it looked like he was shooting rockets, but maybe that was just the sand going everywhere.
That was the 30mm for sure. about 600 rpm. If you've never seen it before on thermal, that's it.
