You buy it in crates, and store it that way. You gear up near the site, and
move in fast. And, if you're really lucky, it doesn't get damaged (ie, you
didn't need it), so you don't have to go through the hassles of getting
another set for the next time you DO need it.

But then, about the only time I let my players near the big bang-bang is
when they're being contracted by a corp as a fast, expendable reaction
team.
