But those in DS2 are not turreted as his example was referring to but
per
page 11 of DS2 - "This is assumed to be a Machinegun...on an external
remote mounting."  I assume this is different from being a main or
secondary system in a 'proper' turret.	Seems overly restrictive for
smaller vehicles and I may have read that wrong but that's what I see
upon a quick review...

Actually RFAC and HVC seem similar but I don't see the DS2 'logic'
equating them exactly...

But while that is superficially true,  I was thinking that a 40mm GL
(his
LAV example) was not exactly a RFAC but an APSW.  Putting the AP round
makes it a kind of second hand very light AT weapon and the 16" range
while *overly generous* was an attempt to give the AT round some
practical use since APSW range is 12" (DFFG-1 LR).  But it was just a
untested spur of the moment suggestion.  YMMV.
