Fire your PPCs, then fire your Xpulse till you start to overheat or need to disengage/reposition. Rinse and repeat.

Very, very hot. But also very, very precise.

EDIT: Drop PPCs for Snubs so you can add two extra DHS for 0.9 heat efficiency -- better brawling duration and faster cooling for no full damage beyond 310m.

You might be better off with a Rotary AC/5 instead of the two PPC. The xpulse lasers are stare-at-them weapons.

PPCs or even regular ACs work better with Xpulse since they are both instant damage -- Xpulse burntime is so short is might as well be instant.

With that thinking in mind, your essentially popping off 20 damage plus 9 every time you click your 6-bank of medium Xpulse -- so 20 + 4 clicks x 9 = 56 total damage with the ability to finesse a torso twist in there without waiting for your "lasers" to finish their burntime. It is also much more accurate as opposed to trying to hold your stream of RAC/2 RAC/5 rounds going to their intended target.
