Why not! In the Going Home campaign I had my PCs on a tramp steamer that was outfitted with autocannons, tank guns and antiaircaft guns,

And when that vessel sunk and they took over a large sailboat they outfitted it with a 40mm boffors and a quad .50<two of my favorite combinations to outfit PCs with.> I find that the heavy hitting power of a 40mm boffors or even a twin boffors like those from WWII ships anti aircraft batteries are just AWESOME! And wonderful when engaging light and medium vehicles and fortifications. I even had the PCs as a side mission going to salvage the arms from a A-10 Warthog that had done a bellylanding in the desert just to aquire its weapon systems and ammo.

I also preffer a 20mm autocannon like those found on WWII anti air defenses on ships another wonderful weapon. These are a bit bigger than a .50, but they do so much more. But, easily managed by a single man in a gunposition. And they are more easily aimed and less expensive than a 20mm gatling.

And then of course a favorite, the quad .50, or sometimes called "The Duster!" used in WWII and Korea either as a towed system or fixed on the bed of a halftrack or truck. These again are awesome weapons, they can cause most things to disentrigrate, making walls crumble, vehicles disapear and people vaporize. A perfect weapon for the PC who needs an equalizer!

As I said, I had the PCs aquire a towed quad 23mm gun from a ZSU and they mounted it on the bed of a truck. This was their tail end vehicle so if anyone hit them from behind, they could deal with it. As well as an ambush from the side of the road the weapon could be turned about 90degrees in either direction to the front to rake the roadside should they need it. Again, the massive fire of 4 automatic 23mm cannons would be enough to disuade any direhard attacker. I would dare say that all but a MBT would be daunted.

Ah, I love applying weapons for things they were never intended to be used for.

Another combination I liked, the 7.62 and a 20mm in the same mount, one for GP <the 7.62> to deal as an anti personel and light skinned targetes and the 20mm to deal with the harder shelled targets.

And then of course we have the Twin .50s! A wonderful duo that is decently fitted, although it can be a bit on the heavy side for dealing with light infantry and vehicles and a bit light for dealing with heavy targets, but still a nice general purpose platform that is light and easily mobile via a jeep, humvee or landrover.
