Meet the GUN-1ERD GUNSLINGER
Posted Image


85 tons of Meta Death.
7 total Energy hardpoints (5 conveniently packed perfectly around your cockpit!!!! Peek and kill!) in the Head and Side Torsos (the rear facing MPLs in the leg transfer to front ST in MWO) and a Gauss in each arm. At 85 tons it's still in the sweet spot for JJ weight, being 1 ton per JJ, instead of 2, and of course.... it comes standard with Guardian ECM.
Spoiler



Why settle for half measures like the Nightstar or Thunderhawk, or the laughable little Devastator when you can pack MAXIMUM META in one CW Dropdeck friendly 85 ton package?

Got a Warhawk infestation? Mad Cat mkII issues? Invest in a Gunslinger now and watch your worries melt away, and your Epeen Badge rocket straight to Tier 1!!!

Order now, and we'll throw in a complimentary Urbanmech, just for ordering today!!! But hurry up, this is a limited time offer! Order now, Comstar Operators are standing by!!!!!

why is it Meta... for Demonstrations sake

That's all you're going to see before you die... if you see it. 4 PPC, 1 laser or TAG. No Dorito. Cuz I gots ECM. So who cares if I'm fat. Cuz you're dead. Now what?

That's right.

If it can run a large XL, 4-5 LPLs, and ECM, and have narrower shoulders than the Battlemaster, then it could easily be meta, but I still want a Nightstar so IS have something that can run dool goose and not knuckle drag (IM GLARING AT YOU KING CRABBY PATTY).

Looks like it'd be a good mech, but the IS already have 2 great 85 tonners so...I dunno. It's basically a Battlemaster with ECM and JJs, right? In general I'd rather they fill in some of the gaps (like with the Viper) before padding out tonnage areas that are already doing well.

That said, the IS doesn't really have many holes (not like the Clans w/ no good 20, 45, 70, 80 or 90 tonners) so another 85 tonner wouldn't be bad, necessarily.

What's not to like?

"As the Mech Warriors of the Defiance Self-Protection Force scattered toward their BattleMechs, Goree headed for his GUN-1 ERD Gunslinger. The 'Mech was the product of a joint Davion/Kurita design team. Intended to cripple Clan 'Mechs at the stand-off ranges the genetically engineered Clan warriors seemed to favor, the Gunslinger mounted a pair of gauss rifles, one in each forearm. A half-dozen medium lasers, two of them pulse models, completed the assault armament.

Goree was as familiar with the 'Mech and its capabilities as he had been with his ex-wife, but unlike her, the big machine had never let him down."
(Th. Gressman, The Dying Time)
