2 UAC 5 1 PPC XL 255 with 5 tons of ammo. I used the Shadowhawk 5M as the stand in, the two spare tons and two AC5s are stand ins for the UACs. I called her lucky seven because 2 AC5s + 1 PPC=7 barrels.

The two spare tons turn the ac5s into uac5s which will be in the left and right torsos on the Bushwacker hero to allow for an XL 255

Without knowing the mech, I can't say how wise the XL may or may not be. But, being a medium mech you'll probably be able to get away with that without any real issues.

As for attack power, I'm not sure if that build will have enough punch, but I wont knock it either because I've got some builds similar to it. It looks like it will be a hit and fade mech, not one to want to stay out too long in an engagement. Considering how cool those UAC5s will handle, have you contemplated replacing it with an ERPPC? Long range, no minimum range, faster bolt travel speeds, etc. Yes, it's hotter, but a single ERPPC shouldn't be too hot for your proposed build.

I wish you luck with your Bushwacker. It's a mech I would have loved to have preordered myself.

I don't think that build is going to be any good.

80 kph in a medium is in the slowish sluggish department.
The Bushwacker geometry means it will likely suffer from extreme side torso vulnerability, XL bad idea.

Yeah I'm going for maximum amount of burst pinpoint projectile damage with the UACs and PPC like the Black Widow 2 UAC 5/ 2 PPC build minus 1 PPC but 15 tons lighter.

Which is pretty hilarious if you consider that the design was supposed to make them harder to hit.

They probably will be harder to hit, if they are staring down their opponents. But, much like the Crab, it will probably have large side torsos, especially if you show the enemy your large side profile. Might work best with a Std engine, but wont know until it actually comes out. For all we know, it may end up being all CT, or maybe a perfect blend to let it shift damage to all torso sections naturally and easily...

xb10 and 2 large pulse.. possible

it is an IS mech, it will all be dependent on what Quirks they give it...
