How many weapons can be placed in the modular airborne weapons case (MAWC)?

The modular airborne weapons case (MAWC) is designed specifically to securely hold and transport a single weapon. This design choice focuses on ensuring that the weapon is adequately protected and can be deployed quickly while maintaining operational efficiency. By limiting the capacity to one weapon, the MAWC minimizes the complexity and risk associated with transporting multiple firearms, which could lead to issues such as damage or misidentification. This allows for precise logistics and enhanced identification procedures during airborne operations, as each unit or team can focus on a single weapon system for their mission needs. Understanding this design philosophy is key to recognizing the operational rationale behind the capacity limitation of the MAWC.
