That is what I was trying to get to.  How much space should a (fully)
turreted APSW take up?	An extra APSW takes up 1 space and that's
either stated or assumed to be pintle mounted.	My opinion is that a
turreted APSW (ala my example of the Ferret or the LVTP or your example
of a commander's cupola mount) should take up no more than 2 spaces,
and I could argue that it would only be 1.  An extra APSW on top of that
would be one additional space.

For the example of the 40mm GL and the .50 HMG in the LVTP, I'd
treat the HMG per the many examples folks have ginned up here on
the List.  For the The GL I'd use the stats listed in the rule book for
the often overlooked and neglected infantry support Auto GL
(FP:D12, IV:d8*).  I'd rule that both can't be fired together.	They're
completely different weapon systems with different ballistics.	The
gunner could only shoot them one at a time/activation.
