I'm not sure what are those small pulse lasers good for, but otherwise it looks nice.

Well they would do wonders against infantry so they are good for AP work and they would also help in a urban area...picture a lance of these coming out of an alley or up the street...

What is the damage on the light PPC and the range? I like the desing but have no idea what gave you the idea for it.

Okay older weapon from some buddies of mine, they based it on the old Snub nose PPC mentioned in the SL housebook...
Damage 4
Heat 4 (was 5, I dropped down)
Range 4 7 14 21
Tons 2.5 (was 3 tons, I felt it needed to be smaller)
Crits 1 (was 2 but that didn't do much I felt)
So that it's really.

INteresting. I like the concept. The range is a little quirky to me. 4-7-14-21. Is the 4 min range? or is the 21 extreme range? If its 4 for min not sure I like that. Seems kind of out of place on a weapon that light. I though a range of 5-10-15 would be good for it. lets it compete with the clan med laser for range.

I don't know where you got the idea, but I like the 'Mech. Long range energy weapons, even ones with light damage, are interesting on a 'Mech that fast. I generally dislike pulse lasers, especially smalls, but I suppose that they have their uses.

The range is 4 min 7 for short and 14 is medium range and 21 is long.
Yes the minimum sucks but that is what they gave it and since it fit with the IS PPCs at the time I didn't say to much and after awhile it was like anyother IS weapon you learned to live with it's limitations.

Ah, I see that there is finally some use for SPL (from new tables they are anti infantry. Does that mean that they do the MG damage to infantry?)

If had kept it to the original specs I would give this one big Kudos. Just had a good feel. I know the Light PPC is in the Total Warfare, thus Mech Warfare book, but no idea of stats. So being book legal then make it one ERLL versus the 2 Light PPC. Gives it serious range and some punch for a 25 ton Mech.
The 4 SPL are great. Kill infantry, terrorize other fast Mechs, rip open back armor of big Mechs. So the name works.
AWAD- Look at your Light PPC- 2 are better than an ERLL should be a tad worse

It's an old Jon/Rick/my way out there idea kind of weapon...I monkeyed around with the stats and got this...yes it's lighter then the canon one...
I don't think it will put the ERLL out of a job.
