See the example platoons laid out in the back of the SG2 book - there's
a
couple of Size-1-weapon carrying PA suits there, so it's quite legal
under
the rules.

The ESU PA has a 20mm cannon carrying varient (RFAC/1) and I think
there's
another - NSL w/ DFFG/1? They add a die to the squads fire, like regular
support weapons, I guess, but I'm not sure - I'm at work, and the book
isn't...
