================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Bull Shark is a 95-ton assault 'Mech described as a "Heavy Brawler."
    
    Little is known about this mysterious Battlmech. Unconfirmed rumours indicate the first
    known example was found in an abandoned ship that had some connection to the then-destroyed
    Clan Wolverine. This is contested by the level of Clan technology in the 'Mech, which was
    developed after the Trial of Anihillation that destroyed the Wolverines.

Capabilities:
    The BSK-MAZ is equipped to engage targets across a fairly wide range bracket with its
    somewhat unusual arsenal. Most of its long-range firepower comes from a Thumper Artillery
    Cannon that takes up most of the right torso. This is backed up by two extended range medium
    lasers in each torso, while each arm mounts an LB 10-X AC and an Ultra AC/5. The design
    features two tons of LB-10X ammo and four tons of Ultra AC/5 ammo. Thirteen Double Heat
    Sinks (one in the left torso and one in the center torso, plus eleven in the engine) attempt
    to keep the very high heat generation of its ER medium lasers in check.

Variants:
    There is one known variant of the Bull Shark, though due to the rarity of the 'Mech it may
    be a unique customized version, built to deal with the loss of advanced Clan Technology.
    Outfitted with conventional Inner Sphere weaponry, the M3 lacks the long-range artillery
    piece of the "standard" BSK-MAZ. Instead, each arm is fitted with an Autocannon/10 and an
    Autocannon/5, and both side torsos mount two standard medium lasers and a pair of LRM-5s. It
    also carries two tons of LRM ammo, one ton of AC/5 ammo, and two tons of AC/10 ammo. In
    addition, the double heat sinks in the engine have been replaced by standard Inner Sphere
    single models. It retains the Clan endo steel chassis and extralight fusion engine of the
    BSK-MAZ model, making even this downgraded version an extreamly expensive mech to buy on the
    market, which is exasperbated by the rarity of the design.
