Sure, swap out the er meds agains half ton lasers, gain one ton.
That's TWO tons of ammo which will get you 50 seconds worth of constant fire...skilled (6LMG eat half a ton in 25 seconds, do the math).

Also Tier 4-5 are those were twisting does not happen much. So either go with stock or spread that ammo around, it will have a similar outcome. Either way that's 350 damage max...over 50 seconds constantly hitting the target (which means that with the last LMG nerf you will have to get pretty close).
While I'm talking about LMG... with MG you get 40 seconds instead of the 50. Better make good use of it.
Or tell me I forgot some way to shoehorn another ton in (skip lasers? armor?). Yeah, the heatsink could probably go, cannot tell how much that would hinder your lasers though.

...
Max engine (180), with minimum heatsinks (10)
Head and arms stripped
with 12 (L)MGs
Piranha will still have ~5 tons to spare LCT-1V aka Piranha mockups shows it has almost 8 tons of space, because Clan ferro is better than IS you get it very close to 8 tons, strip 1-3 points from legs and it's 8 tons.
Those machineguns take 12x 0,25 tons = 3 tons. What you are left with is ......... 5 tons
If I'd want lasers I would put 1 heavy small to head and other to CT and those weight 0,5 ton each so you are still left with 4 tons of ammo.
and that is still over 200 dmg á ton with MG and 175 dmg á ton for LMG.

personally I'm happy with that damage potential, after all it is just 20 ton light mech with ~15 DPS firepower...

PS. For comparison "meta" MLX-G looks pretty much like this and has achieved so much of QQ in here forums already (and it's running with 3 tons of ammo.).

I'm really hoping for that '+300% MG ammo' quirk to be shown tomorrow.

Why? Unless you go for 12x HMG you get plenty of ammo.

Cant wait, but at the same time, the mech looks like its yawning.

This is going to be such an obnoxious mech. I still cant believe no one cares that you can mount 12 machine guns on a clan light and only 4 on inner sphere. Where is the ROF machinegun buff for innersphere for balance ?

Sadly, I think for PGI it's more about Pack sales than balance at this point

ISO>development that isnt mw5, and actual work done on mwo, not solaris (died laughing) or "walkable" mechlab (died again), because lets face it, its gonna be a dumpsterfire. wheres improvements to FP. or our weight changes we have been hearing rumors of?

[MedivalJ]

Anyone else think the arms look a little too far apart? Comparing the model displayed to the concept art: the arms either look too far from their prospective torsos or they are at a slight slant in the concept art and not the final model.

It's pretty obvious at this point


Gotta sell the next Grabdeal
At least this one might be fun


I'll wait a few days and see just how fragile it is
Otherwise, might as well wait for a better Gundam to be announced, use the free GrabDeal on that.

[Cryzak]

+4 to legs... haha totally made of paper but lets see how it works.

[suffocater]

Nearly no quirks and the B is a little more mobile than the rest.
Mobility not even on commando level. At least it can stop pretty good.

[shameless]

**** mobility (because its clan) next to no quirks (again, clan) and made of cardboard.... yeah way to make me feel good about giving you money PGI..
