Never understood the purpose of the Snub Nosed as its only one ton less and less damage and range then regular PPC but same heat. I always thought it should do 15 damage at the closest range to make up for the decreases in damage (15/10/5).

Its a solid design its a faster and more mobile Hunchback without the thump of the AC/20. Whats its role supposed to be? and for which era?

Interesting. I was going to ask if it were a Star League era Mech but a Triple Strength Myomer says no. It reminds me of an early version of the Clan Nova (Black Hawk).

The Snub-Nosed PPC is there to allow me to put 4 Medium Lasers in one place. Otherwise, I would only have 1 and 4 ER Small Lasers or 4 Small Lasers.

It is supposed to be a fighter, able to adapt itself.

And Takiro is right, with the TSM and the Snub-Nosed PPC, it is a Jihad design (a simple one). I did the maths and the TSM should be able to work without any problem (or so I think).
