This (same ?) Q&A appeared in the 96 Annual but then with a slightly different
answer, from the Q&A-file at www.multimanpublishing.com:

"A7.353 & A8.31 If a HS uses a LMG during Defensive First Fire, can it use both
the LMG and its inherent FP during Subsequent-First-Fire/Final-Protective-Fire
in the same phase?

A. No. It can use its LMG or its inherent FP in Subsequent First Fire; for FPF,
it must use its LMG and cannot use its inherent FP. {96}
"

Klas
