with the additional restriction that it can't move and fire on the same turn to represent the "hitch / unfold legs / etc". That'd put it in the 3-6VP range, depending on how vicious the 'must sit still to fire' penalty ends up being.

Most modern versions can be ready to fire in less than a minute from coming to a halt so I’d lose the need to wait a turn to fire unless it’s for play balance.
