Here is a modular weapon system for the Solomani GrPz-IV Grav Tank.

Rheinmetall Rh 33 Mag

Rh 33 Mag is a self-powered weapon system designed for the 2.5-ton Solomani grav tank (GrPz-IV). The system consists of a remote-controlled main turret with 30mm 3-barrel mass driver, and a 3.85mm VRF gauss gun mounted on a small turret atop of the main turret.

While Rh 33 Mag has lacks the range of the standard X-ray laser turret, the mass driver is extremely nasty weapon on close range, and can knock holes on Imperial heavy grav tank on all practical ranges.
