Nonsense. I've seen a few good builds. Do you know that Heavy small lasers do as much as IS medium lasers? Some Locusts and Fleas pack 4 mediums and that's it.
EDIT: 4t engine saves you half a ton after you add the extra needed heatsink. Add two LAMS instead of two AMS and that means you need to bring less ammo for AMS as well, 1, 2 or 1,5t is enough and you saved more tons again. Cut a lot from head a very little from arms and you got 3,5t to work with. It's just about playing around and not thinking like you would xD Odd way to put it.

Do you know HSLs do more damage than IS MLs?
I wouldn't drop the engine, since it's already (potentially) slower than the Locust and lacks the (potential) MASC of the Flea or (potential) ECM of both.
I wouldn't want to run 1 LAMs on just 10 DHS, never mind 2. Though I guess if you're OK with toggling it, at least you won't cook yourself. But then again, you won't be providing any AMS cover when your team really needs it.
If it works for you, great, but I'm sure most players would get better performance (team protection, MS, damage, kills, wins) with a 3 AMS + ECM Kit Fox. I guess it could have a place in FP, but I've barely touched the proper version since they combined the buckets.

Jay Jay Jay... 2 LAMS and 2 Standard don't require that much ammo
They do require more than 10 DHS and/or toggling though, and sacrifice effective (or any) missile cover once it really starts to rain.
