Overview:
    This is dumb, but its 8 quad-LMG-arrays that can deal about 32 damage per turn.  Plus, they
    can eat into exposed internals like nothing else.  With up to 14 hexes of movement + 11 tons
    of armor, its actually pretty resepectable for durability and mobility.  If you've got a
    dedicated hole-puncher mech like a Hunchback IIC, this thing actually pairs pretty nicely
    with it.
    
    This has the exact same BV2.0 value if you swap to MG instead of LMG, doubling your damage
    to 64 but demanding you win the initiative to have any chance of actually hitting anything.
    However, when you win that initiative, your going to outdamage most other assault mechs.
    
    While using Arrays is technically "sub-optimal", even with them this pushes really close to
    "munchkin territory" (for both LMG and MG versions).  I wouldn't pull this out without an
    easy swap in case opponents feel like your trying to min-max the fun out of the game.
