So, the LBXs get passed over for damage spread, but SRMs don't seem to get griped about that much. Is the spread on the SRM just tight enough that the splash isn't such a big deal, or is it more that the SRMs are designed to fire at targets at point blank range, where there's little chance to spread?

I run a LBX-40 Mauler, which is excellent at softening up targets, but admittedly doesn't gun down many Assaults (or even Heavies) on its own, even at close range.


While the LBX40 is interesting, but I prefer swapping a LBX10 for 4 Medium Lasers, some ammo and heat sinks.

Better all around mech. IMO.

Well,after playing with lbx this weekend...it is effective if you use it like a srm... 300 meters for lbx 10 and 400 for the 5s seem to be max effective range. I like an lbx 10 in a summoner but prefer my quad uac 5 in the Dire.
