You can put a fair few 30mm cannons on an RWS, and yes, good question, but the issue resides in application. What are you using the vehicle for and why? Strapping weapons on hulls usually is not a challenge, within reason. Why do it is the real question.

Example: the UK could have fitted 2x TOW missiles to every Warrior MICV (Delco Turret). Would that have been a good idea? Technically possible. So what?
