Increase damage to 0.8, Reduce Heat to 0, reduce ammo to 200, Cool down 0.4 and you basically have the MW3 MG. (160 Damage Per Ton of Ammo)

With all due respect, MW3 was so bad that the further away MWO stays from that, the better.

I am pretty sure in 1000 year we could build it under half a ton. You do know over time we learn to build thing better and more efficiency.

Making things smaller is Lostech

Have you ever seen a 'mech that runs MORE than 2 MGs?

The clan second line mech the Piranha ran 12 Machine Guns, a ER small laser, and 2 ER mediums and was a freaking beast to fight against at short range.

Armament

The Piranha's main threat is its twelve Series XII Rotary Machine Guns. These are a serious threat on such a speedy 'Mech to any foe, especially if a Star of Piranhas operate in a pack, and such a large array allows a Piranha to chew through an opponent's rear armor almost instantly. They are most deadly, however, to unarmored infantry, capable of wiping out an entire company in seconds. For work against hardened targets, the Piranha mounts a pair of Mk. 3 ER Medium Lasers and a single Series 1 ER Small Laser. Since the design only uses ten single heat sinks, the MechWarrior must still manage heat levels. The ammunition dependency of the Machine Guns ensure that Piranhas must stay close to supply lines, so most have been relegated to solahma or garrison roles.

P.S. I like another of Victors posts...
