(Answered) Armored Gloves and Battle Armor Weapon Limits Table

[Hammer]

A question regarding armored gloves and their affects on Maximum Weapon Load on Pg 170 of Tech Manual.

It says Arms are able to carry "1 Anti-’Mech Weapon and 1 Anti-Personnel Weapon or 2 Anti-Personnel Weapons" if I'm using armored gloves does that allow me to mount 2 AP Mounts and then have a AP weapon in the gloves for a total of three weapons.

For example mount two AP Mounts in the right arm then attached 2 Mauser 960's to them.  Then carry a Mauser in the armored gloves.

Basically does have armored gloves count towards the 2 AP weapon limit on a arm.

Thanks in advance for the answer.

No, armoured gloves do not count toward the 2 AP weapon limit.  The maximum weapon load pertains to the construction rules. Carrying an infantry weapon in an armoured glove is not a part of construction: hence it could be done.

In standard game play, as described on p. 218 of TW, AP is an ability, not equipment, and multiple AP mounts do not stack.
