Thanks.
Mhmh, I have about 200 under my belly atm, still in the small leagues I guess
Yea I was wondering how the ammo explosion mechanic works and how it triggers. Is it a random chance of explosion per hit?
If your armor is gone I think it's something like 25% to each component. If you only have the Ac/20 there then your AC/20 would get knocked out on a critical hit. However, with the the two AC/20 ammos, you're likely to get one of the ammo boxes, blown, which would then set off the second ammo. That would not only destroy your AC/20, it would blow off the adjacent arm, and possibly do enough damage to your core to outright kill you. I don't remember the exact amount of damage transferred but it's A LOT.

The 2xPPC+20/AC variant is a little bit of a different playstyle for me, but it is interesting and it can definitely abuse the stalkers high mounts. I will test it out.
People prefer the PPC because it's guaranteed to do all of its damage to a single component, and you can hide again the moment you press fire. You don't even have to wait to see it hit. It is not nearly as good for close range fighting but the game currently favors terrain hugging medium range fights for organized teams which you'll likely start to face soon as your ELO rises rapidly.
You really don't want to fight a premade 4 man lance on voice comms at close range on your own. Even if you manage to sneak up behind them, they will ALL turn around at the same time and all of them will shoot you at the same time.
Best thing to do is to stay ranged, and work with your team mates to pin them down and take them apart like a chess game.
