Taurus arnament related question

Ok so the Taurus usually has the basic Beam Cannon or occassionally the Laser Cannons.

But for optional extra hand arnaments for instance Beam Sabers(like Quatre wielded) or a Beam Pistol(like Trowa's Taurus)
Where do they carry the extra weapons?
It's pretty obvious the main large cannon always mounts or clips on the underside in Mobile Armor mode.
It's just kind of a small curious thing.

While the Taurus' beam cannon can only mount on the rear skirt armor, the beam rifle can mount on the rear OR the front, as seen here, which allows it to fire in MA Mode and makes it easy to retrieve when it changes to MS Mode.

As for the beam sabers, those were only ever wielded by the Sanc Kingdom's Tauruses, and there don't seem to be any mounting points at all. We simply see Quatre's Taurus transform and then saber blades spring to life, so maybe they were held in the hands while it was in MA Mode.

The laser gun wasn't really a standard armament, and only showed up during the defense of Barge (and we see the OZ crew warning pilots about overheating problems). As such, it doesn't have any dedicated mounting points. Plus, the fact that it's just the Earth Federation's 90mm bullpup machinegun painted green means it doesn't even belong in that timeline. :D
