Weighing 10kg each<ref name="TMp262"/>, the Modular Weapon Mount has harnesses, weapon status lines, and targeting interfaces for a variety of battlesuit primary weapon systems. A suit of battle armor equipped with MWMs can mount any weapon system as long as the armor has the space and weight available. Though the armor equipped with Modular Weapon Mounts cannot use them to exceed the normal weight restrictions, the flexibility offered is worth the minor weight penalty. Battle Armor suits can mount two MWM on the body and one on each arm. Quad battlesuits use the [[Modular Turret Mount]] instead of the standard Modular Weapon Mount.<ref name="TMp262"/>
