That would actually depend on wether you are playing SG or DS.
DS explicitly states that the APSW is mounted externally but is 
remote-controlled.
SG, on the other hand, explicitly states (p.32) that the free SAW is 
manually controlled, so that a suppressed vehicle cannot fire it.
SG also states that "additional weapons of this type" use one capacity 
point, while if you "want a remote-control SAW you can operate from
inside 
the vehicle you have to pay the capacity for it!".

I am not certain what, exactly, is meant by "weapons of this type" and
"pay 
the capacity for it" is really intended to mean, but I assume that extra

manually controlled SAWs cost one point and the others pay two or three
(if 
primary weapon in turret).

There are small, but sometimes annoying, little differences between 
constructing vehicles in DS and SG. I seem to remember having seen one
or 
two others, but cannot remember what it was (and I have not really
played 
DS, just tested it a couple of times some years ago).
