Yes, but what if you do not have the space? Nearly any flying drone
has not enough body to mount a LMG or higher. So, what is it to do to
convert an assault rifle for belt feed? Is it impossible or is it
doable?

I thought the same and told the GM, he said no way although it was a
dud. Annyway this is no complaining area about "Buhu, my GM was real
bad to me tonite, Buah!", so I cut that. But to be fair, he told me
that he thinks that I need a special modofication to the weaponmount
to do this trick. I pointed to the Weapons integration kit, he told me
that that was not it. So that's it, damn. Do anyone think that a
weapon integration kit got a simple servomotor build in for such an
occasion? Please?
