For what it's worth, yes, you could deploy a HWS into somebody else's chimera, but really you should just take a Vendetta, which can do the exact same thing for much cheaper while also retaining move-and-shoot ability.

So if you're in the camp that thinks firing three lascannons out of the top hatch is some kind of exploit, count yourself lucky because the Guard player is handicapping himself...

Also, if all but two (or one) model(s) are limited to firing the mounted lasguns....why can only some of them be fired? There's six of them. If the wording is somehow really supposed to mean only one or two special/heavy weapons may be fired from the top hatch, and the rest of the firing MUST be from the lasguns, why would the number of lasguns you can fire be less than 6?

To me, it seems fairly obvious the first part of the rule is the part that applies to actual game mechanics, and the second part, after the "In reality...", is tacked on to reconcile the rule to the model in some vaguely fluffy manner.
