"Can I muzzle-load it?"
"Yes, but your average I-beam has lousy ballistics"
Kai's first question to having Yenlo's AC/20 replaced with a Guass, and it's reply

It was a less than subtle Chekhov's Gun. The sneaky bit was waiting for the next book to use it.

162. The Seventy Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries is highly suggested reading. Not all of it applies to Mechwarriors.

160. Replacing the PPC on the female CO's Battlemaster with a chain whip and stenciling Battlemistress beneath the cockpit is frowned upon.

Are you sure I should run?

164. Repeatedly shutting down and powering up in an effort to "teabag" an opponent is not authorized.
165. You can't load "bird-shot" in your LB-10X when hunting Ravens
166. Spider pilots do not find it humorous when you attempt to duct tape their mech to your catapult so that you have an ECM module.
167. Using a Jenner as a melee weapon when trying to hit a Spider and yelling "KILL IT!!! KILL IT!!" will only upset the CO.

168. The Mad Dog is not "Such weapons... much fire... wow".

[StompingOnTanks]

169. You are not to scream "NOOB!" over open comms when you see a Jagermech armed with dual AC/20s, no matter how many members of your battalion agree with you.
170. You will not call your Commander's Stalker "The Wobbling W****r of Wiggly Wrath" if he loses a leg actuator.
171. Spherical Dropships are not "Flying Space Balls". Two spherical Dropships flying in formation with an arrow-shaped Jumpship is not a "Pleasure Cruise" either.

174. The Jenner will never be there when you need it.

[StompingOnTanks]

176. Newbie Jenner Pilots are required to stay far away from all mechs with hand actuators during engagements with spiders....No you can't ask why.

177. Painting your Centurion green, tinting the cockpit glass orange, adding small blue LED lights to various parts of the body, stenciling "177" on the shoulder, and equipping triple-strength Myomer and MASC does not qualify you to abandon your post under the guise of "Finishing The Fight".
178. There is no such thing as "Silly Straw" ammunition for autocannons.
179. When fighting alongside Davion forces, try not to slip on the sea of empty shell casings littering the ground.
180. Nobody cares to see your "Iron Giant" impression while piloting a humanoid mech.

[MnDragon]

181. Playing "Mr. Roboto" or Saying Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto over your loud speakers when confronting Kurita's is considered poor form.
182. There is no Moon Walk button on your throttle while in reverse.
183. You are not allowed to roast hotdogs, marshmallows, or anything else over an Ember's Flamers.
(Even though that is all they are good for.)

177. No, having hands does not mean it's ok to make the "jerking it" motion with your mech

178: Any comments on female Dragon pilots regarding "the size of her chest" over com will be considered workplace sexual harassment.
179: It is permitted, however, to refer to Commando's front CT armor as "sexy 6-packs", regardless of the pilot's gender.
180: We have been receiving an increasing number of complaints from Comstar's female representatives regarding phrases like "feel my hyperpulse generator". Our public figure is low as it already is, please stop.

183: There is no rule 182
184: The red team is blue to the red team and you are red to the red team

194: 'Nerfing' and 'Buffing' does not excuse your lack of training
195: Balance is different from 'Nerfing' and 'Buffing'
