It's 90.

My bad, I wasn't being clear. Clan gauss explosion chance is not 99%, it's 100%. 100 friggin percent.
Ok, not to derail the thread any further than it already has. just had to clear that up.

Back to your regular scheduled viewing program. Go Gunslinger!!

Practically speaking, the explosion chance difference between 90% and 100% is not going to be all that noticeable in gameplay. It's the difference between always exploding and almost always exploding. The low health value of the item and the current critpocalypse are far more detrimental to weapon durability than explosion chances.

YES! Classic western music is an absolute must!

Also some cowboy/western inspired decals!

If you prefer, they could reduce it to 90% like the IS one and the damage to 12, to match the tonnage?

sure, as well as a health increase from paltry 7.5 hp for a 12 ton weapon.

I'm sure Alex da gawd drew this one ages ago. I wish I could see what his Gunslinger looks like.

ATF agents can't be dejected because they are not people, ergo they have no emotions!

Sure!

Ohh that would be so good! We could get decals that say "The good" "The bad" & "the ugly"

Impossible. Urbanmech is Bestmech.

Also, Urbanmechs and Kentaros are rounded as are many IS mechs. Gunslinger has a good IS symetry to it; it looks very 'guy in a rubber suit about to wrestle Godzilla' vibe that many of the best IS mechs have.

Clan mechs tend to have that 'Huh, that guy is clearly compensating for something' vibe. Not kidding; look at Clan mechs. Most Clan Mechs look like they have a spot for Truck Balls to be mounted.

An IS Omni.... there's none that are not pretty terrible. I like Gunslinger because it would actually add something a bit different and actually useful to the IS lineup. Not a lot of mechs can say that anymore. Same reason I'm also kinda interested in the new Corsair and couldn't care less about the Warhammer IIC.

Gunslinger has the potential to be, similar to the Battlemaster, a mech that's usually got a place in a drop deck for the IS. Quirks will determine what range that is but high energy mounts and arm ballistics with likely good hitboxes and the tonnage to effectively use all of it... well, I think that's a good investment.

[FLG 01]

Agree on the Gunslinger, disagree on the IS Omnis. The Men Shen e.g. is the IS medium I want the most, and I doubt the Raptor would be bad. Most IS Omnis would be terrible in the environment of MWO, but not all of them.

Anyway, even with Omnis on the table I agree that the Gunslinger is one of the better options for the IS...

Very much agree that the Gunslinger has serious potential but I've gotta say that there are a couple IS omnis that are in the decent to good range. The obvious front runner being the Men Shen and the Raptor but I just don't know why PGI has waited so long. TBH a PGI created omni with a LFE would be nice.

Haha but that truck balls comments is gold.
