================================================================================================
Overview:
    While not particularly well armored, or fast, LAZ-7S "Larkin" does excel at its designed
    task of being a lightweight sniper. While considered under gunned with it's weapons
    selection, the extended range laser and ordinance swapping launcher enables the "Larkin" to
    reach out and deal reliable damage, all the while keeping cool. Not meant to operate solo in
    the field, the "Larkin" is quite capable at holding long sightlines away from allies,
    putting the custom targeting system, which is tired directly to its finely tuned limited
    production laser to good use. Curiously, the Phoenix 5.5 targeting system has been known to
    be rather ornery to new or inaccurate Mechwarriors. Feedback has been reported by pilots to
    come through the neurohelmet when two or more misses are registered by the system. The
    feedback is often associated to the "low grumble of an disgruntled hound" or as if there was
    some old man in the system "complaining under their breath." While these reports are
    considered nothing more than the superstitions of Mechwarriors spending far too much time in
    the field, SMA still recommends warriors that are above average in gunnery to pilot a mech
    that requires such precision to be effective in the first place.
