1. Quad mechs may split criticals among all three torsos provided that there is no turret mount involved.
2. Quad mechs may mount Thumper artillery pieces; Snipers and Long Toms are simply too big.
Here's my logic.
Quads, by virtue of having four legs, would be more inherently stable than bipedal mechs when it comes to serving as an artillery platform, right?
Thing is, under the current rules they can't as they don't have enough internal space.

Would make sence but due to limits in internals not sure how you would impliment it.

Are pontoons really that heavy? Or was the 10% simply for game mechanics?

Game mechanics.
I'm saying that they weigh so much due to the fact that the things have to be permanently mounted onto the helo and that both the pontoons (which are hard and hollow) and the mounts have to be able to support the weight.
Plus, in the hands of a clever player pontoon VTOLs can play hell with game balance. IE, someone can pull some armor off of a Karnov in order to mount pontoons and then have the Karnov do naval landings for the purpose of dropping off hovercraft or commandos right on the water.

Micro Pulse Lasers do Light Machine Gun damage (1d6) to infantry.
I think that this should be part of TW since the small pulse lasers work as Machine Guns the Micro Pulse Lasers should work in a way similar to Light MG. I heard that TW doesn't include this.
