Brian, that doesn't work in DS2 because on page 11 it says: (Caps for
Bold Face type not volume control.)

"...ALL MILITARY VEHICLES ARE FITTED WITH ONE "FREE" APSW, CAPABLE OF
ALL
AROUND FIRE; THIS WEAPON DOES NOT COUNT TOWARDS ANY WEAPONS FIT
LIMITATIONS, OR TAKE UP ANY CAPACITY.  [This is assumed to be a
Machinegun or equivalent, on an external remote mounting..."

Note that an 'external remote mounting' in not the same as mounting it
in
the turret.  It apparently is a mini-turret strictly for the APSW
(better
then a pintle mount...) only.
