Examples of BattleArmor LB-X
« on: 10 September 2023, 18:56:30 »
I just figured out these are a thing, but have no ability to ask the MUL questions; Is anyone aware examples of this weapon, and how well they work?

And how much the Sea Foxes might want for a few? :evil:

I haven't played with them but you can find them on canon variants of the Thunderbird, Thunderbird II, Ironhold, and Black Wolf Battle Armors.

I THINK the Black Wolf was the one it premiered on.

And that's just one gun per suit.  I'd love to se what can be done with this gun on a suit that really goes wild.

Not sure how you're going to fit 2 guns on a suit.  Tactical Operations: Advanced Units & Equipment (corr 6th printing) page 225 lists them as 400 tons each.   :wink:

I'd treat them as a BT version of a Punt gun.

Assault quad BA could probably work. Shame there are so few of them.
