Because GMS systems are _guided_ weapons there is no fire arc limitation

and can fire all round (360°). The low capacity is because they are
usually 
externally mounted (a bit like TOW systems).

On p.18 it states "...any element may only fire ONE weapon system per 
Combat Action.". This includes GMS systems. The reference on p.9 is to
the 
fact that multiple GMSs may be fired as if they were one weapon system.
