There is apparently a bug with the PPC. It does NO DAMAGE closer than about 90 meters. Beyond 90m it works fine, but at short range you might was well be spitting at the mech.

It has a minimum range of 90 meters. It is not a bug. ERPPC have no minimum range.

This was made intentional by PGI as a way to both nerf the PPC and attempt to follow 80's TT rules back stating that the PPC has a chance to deal recoil damage back at the weapon itself if fired close range.
Until this mechanic is altered, we're just going to have to make due with the minimum range. But just be aware PPCs doing zero damage at 0-89 meters is not a bug; its intentional.
Ninja'd... too much typing

I just wish things like this were documented in the on-screen HUD. Weapon maximum ranges are shown, but not minimum ranges, which results in this post, people using LRM's against point-blank targets, etc.
