I'd think so.  Seems to me that's equiv to a RFAC/1 in SG terms.

There are two crew-served weapons like this from the ESU figure line. 
One
is an automatic grenade launcher, and the other is a multi-barrel
autocannon.  Good figs - I have a "battery" of three (mixed types) for
my
ESU.  

I'm sure you could find suitable "crew" figures from other lines if you
want to use them with non-ESU forces.
