==Overview:==
Intended as a companion for the Dibison, the Gun Bluster is designed to be a
walking arsenal. 

Twin RAC/5s provide the mech with an incredible amount of firepower, while two
tons of ammo for each RAC means the mech can blast away using the maximum rate
of fire and not have any issues.

In the event that the ammo bins finally run dry, three medium lasers provide
back-up to help the mech extract itself.

Two tons of ammo are too little to "blast away using the maximum rate
of fire and not have any issues"!!
You'll have 6 salvos at full rate and a seventh with the last 4 shots!
So you're down to three medium lasers after only seven turns!

And how many mechs can withstand six full salvos from a pair of RAC/5s?

So i hope you have eliminated any opposition in this 6 turns Wink
If you use this in a duel you'll have a point but the limited fire-arc will give you problems if the other mech is faster or can jump.
If fighting in a company you can deliver savage firepower in the beginning but if the conflict lasts on your lance-mates have to finish it without much help from this mech.
