Editing Mackie (section)

== Armaments ==
Because it was mostly a testbed technology that ended up becoming a full production Mech, nobody really knew how many guns were "too much" on a Mech its size, and so they simply plopped the top of the line guns from other systems onto it; A PPC, an Autocannon/10, and two Medium Lasers. By modern standards, it's a bit undergunned, but you have to remember the only things this mech were firing at for the first 15 years of its lifespan were tanks and jets, which don't do well to sustained fire or from just being stepped on by something much, much larger than it. This thing is considered old by the time of the [[Star League]], so even trying to make one of these shoot something in the "modern day" of the BattleTech universe is a pointless endeavor; you're much better off just selling it as a relic of an older time to a museum.

Where it does have a huge leg up is in its armor, of which 20 tons is dedicated to protecting the pilot, making it a ''very'' tough nut to crack even in the modern day, especially once later variants began putting ablative armor onto it.
