The Clan U AC 5 fires three shots per burst. Is each of those shots worth 5, for a total of 15 or do you only do 5 total damage if you hit with all 3 shots?

Each shot does 5/3 damage. The 3 shots combined equal 5 damage. If you double tap, you fire 6 rounds totaling 10 damage.

It is the way of all clan ballistics save LBX that they spread their damage out over several rounds. C-UAC-20 as an example fires five rounds. Each will deliver 4 points of damage (4 X 5 = 20). That means if the average pilot fires while moving at a target that is moving there is a good chance that not all will hit, and those that do are likely to hit different spots. I feel this is a strong argument against all those who complain that clan mech are OP. Firing a clan AC is like firing an LBX round spread out over time.

Screenshake and Vision obscurity provided by these weapons far out weigh the multishot mechanic. Having your target unable to accurately return fire or even see properly over a longer duration is so unbelievably powerful.

More to balance then damage.
