Wow... 30 armor CT. I knew armor would be thin but that's insane. A strong breeze could kill that mech.

[Pr8Dator]

yes tried... super glass cannon! LOL! Especially when these days nobody really rush out in the open anymore, making good snipes very hard.

MWO Mechbay? Interesting... got a link?

Ya looks terrible !

I can't remember the ammo count for Gauss but 5 tons of ammo should be somewhere near 12 Alpha Shots.

5 tons of ammo x 10 shots per ton = 50 shots / 3 rilfes = 16.667 shots.

Thanks for the Math help! I haven't used a Gauss Rifle since I sold my K2 about 2 weeks after open beta started.

[Culler]

It's doable but it has less armor than most light mechs and all the speed of a crippled Atlas. You really need another 15 tons worth of mech chassis to run 3 gauss at minimum. If you could run a 90-100 ton mech with 3 gauss, you'd be good to go (except for the fact that gauss explode if you get sneezed on now.)

[Like a Sir]

At 32 kph with that much armor, I would put those 3 Gauss rifles in to my mouth area, and pull the triggers with my would be toes!

[SolCrusher]

I figure 3 UAC5 would be better and provide fairly full armor but I think I'd rip through some serious ammo.

You would. 150 ammo for 2 UAC5 runs out often. You would need at least 225 shots or 9 tons of ammo to hope to keep those things fed.

13 Tons of Ammo, so this could be a viable build.
