I think the most primitive weapon would be Rifle Cannons because of their -3 damage against BAR8+ Armor. If other weapons were as primitive, they'd also have the -3 damage.

Machine Guns are TL B and introduced Pre-Spaceflight.  You don't get much more primitive than that.

MGs don't suffer the -3 damage penalty. Neither do Tube Artillery which are also pre-spaceflight. The same is true for Fluid Guns, Vehicle Flamers, VGLs, 'Mech Mortars, and many industrial physical weapons. Even rocks and trees don't have their damage reduced. It's the Rifle Cannon that's so  primitive that it's damage is reduced against BAR8+ Armors.

Gotta be Machine Guns.
Build a man a fire, keep him warm for a day. Set a man on fire, keep him warm for the rest of his life.

Were is the Atlas from???
"For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast, And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed:And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill, And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still!"

From MechWarrior Online.

The depicted BattleMech is my personal AS7-D Atlas that I won in a challenge two years ago.

It was just a fun picture.

Perhaps you should try MechWarrior Online. It is a free-to-play game with a big selection of Inner Sphere & Clan BattleMechs and OmniMechs.

Or maybe an AC/5.
