I hate to tell you this, but: When I was with NOVA, a HAVR *was* my go-to hand weapon... >:)

There's another "oddball" cycle-with-sidecar design like this in "Grand Theft Autoduel" -- the cycle component has a 1-sp./320-lb. cargo area on it (the "main guns", a pair of linked MGs with 10 shots each, are on the sidecar), which is enough for *two* passengers -- one in the cargo space, one "on the rat-trap". :)

Of course I can save 6 lb by fitting folding stocks to the HAVRs.

Yup -- my tendency to have my duelcar's driver well-enough-outfitted to take on a Division 5 car is what finally got me thrown out of NOVA.... (Apparently, they didn't take kindly to the idea of me winning a duel by blasting a crew out of their now-crippled car.)
