With UAC/5's being the king of the battlefield, this mech will dominate the dakka. The MG arm on the right provides a great shield from lrms and enemy dakka/lasers. Enough ammo to keep you shooting and enough lasers to make sure you never ever stop dealing damage! You may take a look at the leg armor and wince, but i assure you ive never been legged once while playing with 30 leg armor with my jagers because lets be honest, wouldnt you rather aim at their side torsos?

Would strongly advise not storing ammunition the side opposite your weapon. Especially if you're using it as a shield. Great way of getting a whole side blown off and leaving your weapons on the other side dry of ammo.
Lost a DHS, added more armor, moved ammo around a little.

using a limb full of ammo as a "shield" arm seems somewhat imprudent.

Second the comments re: shield arms and ammo. However, I have had a lot of luck with putting two autocannons in one arm, stripping the other arm, and putting 4 mediums in the LT/RT. Having all your bullets coming out of essentially one location is amazing for ridging, peeking, and leading, and it's great to have a whole side of your mech you can use as a shield (assuming STD engine.)

I've been running a similar build for a while, only with regular AC5s. I find that when twisting right, I'm more likely to be hit in the left side torso, and vice versa. Might be something to consider when trying to shield the main weapons arm or spread incoming damage.
