Only so far as the vehicle design rules go....

SAWs in SG2 are clearly meant to represent the equivalents to modern
SAWs, 
LMGs, and GPMGs. These weapons are factored into the ordinary small arms

of DS2 fireteams. HMGs are specifically mentioned as being APSWs in DS2 
and are totally lacking from SG2.

There have been threads about this in the past. Check Jerry Han's
archives. 
One of these days I'll get my rules (modified by several of the comments
here) 
on a web site, honestly I will.

In a regular DS2 game, I'd call it Size 3. In a 20th century tech only
game I'd 
call it size 4.
