A battle armor specialized for taking ships and stations. Has good armor a Space operation adaption pack, cutting torch, demo charge, and searchlight as gear and four wakizashi-O12  shotguns that for some reason my building program doesn't show. Also has dual heavy vibro claws extended life support and better sensors.

Yes. You can only fire 1 anti-personnel weapon per turn (TW pg.218). Your additional mounts exist only to provide you options or ablative slots when converting to BattleTroops or one of the RPGs. Add a machine gun and/or flamer.

Ah I did not know that alright so I've kept two shotguns one in case of loss. For the two other weapons I picked a man portable flamer instead of a BA flamer due to weight and an Barret laser rifle with inferno grenades in case of heavily armored enemies. I had to give up a vibro claw to mount the flamer but got two more points of armor from weight savings of the claw and searchlight. I don't know why MML doesn't like to show Battlearmor weapons.
