The '''Anti-Personnel Weapon Mount''' (like the [[Modular Weapon Mount]] that inspired it) is a piece of [[battle armor]] equipment that allows the operator to swap weapons based on mission parameters.

AP Weapon Mounts can carry two classifications of weaponry.  The first are [[:Category:Small Weapons|small arms]] commonly used by the [[infantry]] themselves, such as rifles and submachine guns, allowing battlesuits to effectively engage enemy soft targets without the potential overkill of their standard armaments.  The second are [[:Category:Medium Weapons|larger support weapons]] (those not designed to be mounted on battle armor<ref name=TM262-263/>), however in most cases this is redundant, since battlesuit weapons are already more efficient, more powerful versions of those same weapons.<ref>''TechManual'', p. 271, "Weapons, Anti-Personnel"</ref>
