for background i should mention that i have a character who is a full convertion borg basically. every limb including head and torso are obvious cyberlimbs. aside from the toughness that comes with that he fills the role of hacker/engineer for the group.

since he only has 1 IP(ran out of money and essence in char gen) i was thinking about stuffing in an external weapon mount on a shoulder for additional contribution in a firefight. i figured it would be a great way to sort of have a few extra IP's worth of action(mount acting as a drone) and something to keep my body protected when hacking in full VR.

the problem is when thinking about it i started to wonder...just how big is this thing? would i be wandering around with a completely obvious submachine gun on a 16F mount all the time(earning a free ride to jail or a bunch of free bullets from the star)? i was thinking for the high capacity cost of 7 a good deal of it may be below the surface. since it doesnt say i figured i would ask you guys, do you think the mount its self is small enough to remove the weapon and have it seem like part of the shoulder when not on a run? how abut having it retractable? it would almost certainly add capacity but it is already 7...

what is your opinion/ruling on the matter?
