General Details
Name: Light PPC
Type (Category): Weapon (Energy)
Reference: TechManual (p. 234)
Description:
The light PPC, an effort to produce a more compact versions of the same weapon, also proved a limited success. Once more achieving the same range profile as the standard Inner Sphere PPC, this model has half the heat and damage potential as well—with a weight and size profile roughly half that of the standard PPC. Only the fact that its reach is still half again better than the Spheroid ER medium laser has kept this weapon viable.
Game Rules:
PPCs may not be fired if the unit is shut down or if its pilot/crew is otherwise prevented from acting.
