Well, back to the original question.  There is no space modifier for GMS

systems.  They are assumed to be thrown onto the chasse in on an
external pod, 
so only the ammo & firing system needs to be stored.  GMS systems are
VERY cheap
in comparison to their capabilities because they are very basic systems.
 We 
don't have most of the weapons & other systems in DSII today, but we do
have 
GMSs.  Even developing countries have TOWs, just stick one on an APC &
you're 
ready to roll.	As examples, just about every existing US
non-MBT/non-artillery 
vehicles have some version with TOWs on them (M113, LAV-25, Bradley,
V-150, 
etc).  About the arc of fire, I've always assumed 360 degrees.

Thanks,
Nils

Hello.	This is to all the Dirtside II players out there.  In the rules
manual it says that a GMS/H takes up 4 capacity points.  But what is the
firing arc for this weapon.  Also, does the 4 points get multiplied by 3
for turret-mount, and by 2 for fixed mount?  Either way, this seems too
"cheap" for a powerful weapon like this.
