A bit more reasonable would be a HMG (probably around 10mm+) in a 
coaxial mount on the end of the walker's arm. The other arm or 
shoulder would mount the main armament that is used to take out 
vehicles. Another mounting option would be atop the walker's head 
in a small cupola that tracks wherever the pilot is looking.

In one case "the finger of death", the other "looks that kill".

If it wasn't for the size class = max. number of weapons rule, 
the best (IMHO) loadout for an infantry walker would either be 

GMS/H, 2xAPSW
or
GMS/L, 4xAPSW (two twin barrel HMGs, one on each arm)...

As it stands however, the most effective loadout I've seen is 
a GMS/H and the free APSW.
