================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Tanto is a Light BattleMech designed by Luthien Armor Works at the behest of the
    Draconis Combine in order to test the experimental Improved One-Shot System as applied to
    medium-range-missiles. To this end the company created a platform that is designed as a
    light skirmisher, with good armor and speed to make it a small but dangerous combatant.
    While originally limited in production during the Clan Invasion and the Civil War era, it
    would be approved in the final years of the Jihad for mass-production as a light fire
    support option for frontline lances.

Capabilities:
    The Tanto uses a right shoulder-mounted Lord's Light 2 ER PPC as its primary weapon to pick
    off foes at long to medium range, while as part of its experimental purpose it has one
    jettisonable Shigunga Improved One-Shot MRM 10 launcher on each arm. This disposable
    launcher is made as cheap as possible for the experimental tech, and would be made cheaper
    as the technology was refined and costs went down. The late Jihad would see it become cheap
    enough for mass production as an easily-replaceable module that could be changed out easily
    after expenditure, which would be the main factor in the Draconis Combine approving mass
    production in 3079.

Made this as my first custom BattleMech. Thought it was a crime that there wasn't a Draconis Combine 'Mech named after the tanto and that the Improved One-Shot System would be interesting to have as a jettison capable weapon. Hence this unorthodox skirmisher that was a test in the Clan Invasion era before being mass-produced in the final years of the Jihad.

Oh good. This makes me irrationally angry for existing. It must be doing something right.

However, if this was supposed to be a serious attempt at design (You did mention its your first custom.), Rocket Launcher 10's exist.
