I know that critical slot splitting can let you split a weapons requiered critical slots across an arm and side torso. I don't know if you can split a weapon's requiered critical slots across both arms to make it two handed. Somthing, like the Sniper Artillery Piece comes to mind.

If I remember correctly this was literally ONLY allowed with the AC/20 because of it's sheer size.

The BattleAxe referenced in that question is an older, obsolete mech, replaced by the Hammerhands, which was in turn made obsolete by the Warhammer. The question in QnA 33 is not referencing melee combat in any form, but rather older tech levels and mechs.

Damn I didnt know the battleaxe is a mech too.... and the battletech axe is just called axe?

Oh well, thats what I get for not reading a bible worth of fine books

Cool. The Large Shield has it's own external armor and internal structure letting the shield absorb damage instead of the arm.

NM about the Sniper Artillery Piece. It is too big to split across two arms and still hold it in hand. 20 Critical slots requiered. Thumper Artillery Piece however requiers 15. Which is enough to split across two arms with hands. Both are bigger then the AC/20.

This thread reminds me of a new anime called Broken Blade. Good mech battles, not too long of a series either.

Looks interesting, and oh hey look,it's on crunchy roll. Guess I'll check it out.
