================================================================================================
Overview:
    McKearny's Dragon DRG-1N was a modification of the Dragon born out of necessity. The
    mercenary lance's Rifleman was utterly destroyed in combat and McKearny's Dragon had
    suffered severe engine damage. In an attempt to salvage the poor situation, the Dragon had a
    spare engine intended for the now destroyed Rifleman, and its two lasers were stripped out
    to be replaced with an autocannon/5. with an additional ton of armor added to cover weak
    spots in the 'mech's armoring, particularly its arms and legs. The end result is an
    ammunition-dependent 'mech that has worse field endurance than the Rifleman it was meant to
    replace, though does not suffer any of its heat and armoring problems.

Capabilities:
    McKearny's Dragon is a well-rounded sniper whose twinned AC/5 autocannons are supplied by
    two tons of ammunition total, supported by a center torso-mounted LRM-10 with 2 tons of
    ammo. It can maintain its barrage for about 3 and a half minutes, but needs to escape and
    resupply once it runs dry, which is compounted by the 'mech's middling run speed of 64.8
    km/h. It lacks the endurance for a protracted firefight due to its complete lack of
    energy-based armanents.
