It would be an interesting way to get around the 30A limitation! Not really convinced the GDC would think it legal, though.

Probably not the GDC's cup of tea, I would imagine, but for something like a turreted shooter that would be really handy.
EDIT: As a side note, to date I have not found a non-coaxial or coaxial design lighter or more compact than 1323's coaxial design
this year last year. It integrates many parts together that cannot be integrated on a non-coaxial, so it saves a lot of weight and space. The only issue with it is how to add encoders, and that can easily be solved by using an AMT-103 on the CIM shaft or a gear tooth sensor on the CIM pinion.
