Overview:
    Although the Barghest would eventually become a noted BattleMech within the LAAF and LCAF,
    few know that there were built on design work done decades before the Clans even arrived.
    Those older prototypes looked much akin to their later descendants, but were deemed not
    effective due to different flaws. The first, the BGS-X1, attempted to combine a large bore
    autocannon with an experimental binary laser cannon. However, the excessive heat generated
    by the latter weapon alone proved too much for the single heat sinks in use at the time, as
    firing just this weapon alone could quickly overheat the machine, much less combining the
    firepower of both of its guns.
    
    The second, the BGS-X2, replaced the binary laser cannon with a standard particle cannon and
    a pair of extra heat sinks. Although this new design could hit almost as hard at longer
    range and for less heat, it was deemed to be undergunned.
