"Setting up or collapsing a tripod typically requires six seconds. Attaching or detaching the weapon takes a further three seconds." HT p160

From that reading, I'd actually rule 9 seconds up, 9 seconds down. Not 6/6 like I said earlier.

Along with no movement, seems pretty fair for only giving braced + Ignore strength requirement. If this was an attached accessory, I might even give big penalties to dodge.

I wonder how long does it take to set up or collapse a TL9 tripod.

Anyway, I am now tempted to just grant 5 levels of Huge Weapons instead. Though it will probably change them from one-man heavy weapons teams to all-around heavy units.
