I think it has something to do with real life modern army slang. As I have realised, Apache helicopters are often referred to as gunships, while in that context, gunboat would be something like a torpedo boat, or maybe a very small frigate, in which case it would boast a lot more firepower than just one 'copter.

Here, I dug out two links to help explain:
