Overview:
The Shootist was first saw in action after many centuries by the Great Houses when it often
led as the Comguard's Vanguard during the battles in Tukkayid against the Clans. Now with
many stocks of Shootists lost after Word of Blake took over Terra, ComStar officials
requested Grumium Creations to re-produce the Shootists (ComStar will provide the
blueprints) which Grumium Creations is too happy to comply.
Capabilities:
With blueprints available from ComStar, Grumium Creations dived into the work. The first
major upgrade would be rebuilding the chassis with Endo-Steel technologies to free up more
tonnage inside the mech. The re-construction worked and the base chassis was ready for
refitting.
For the more advanced tech weapons, Grumium had to rely on its connections with the Draconis
Combine and the Lyran Alliance. Intitial weapon plans were to equip the mech with the Lyran
Alliance's new Defiance's Disintegrator LB-20X autocannon, however with the Lyrans getting
embroiled with the Davions recently, the Lyrans refused to sell any of its higher tech
weapons and only offered the Defiance MechHunters for sale, which Grumium reluntantly
accepted. Talks with the Draconis Combine were successfully with the Dragons agreeing to
sell Lord's Light 2 Extended Range Particle Projection Cannons. With the supplies of the 2
primary weapons obtained and all other basic weaponary can be constructed locally, Grumimum
Creations went to work.
On the right arm of the Shootist rests the powerful Lord's Light 2 ERPPC that gives the mech
its powerful long ranged reach but enemies who wish to close in on the Shootist will be in
for a surprise when they find a single Mechhunter 20 shell shoved into their face and
getting riddled by 3 Martel Model 5 medium lasers. A single Diverse Optics Er small laser
rounds out the weapon's array and serve as an anti-infantry measure. The large Mech Hunter
is well supplied with 20 reloads and the ammo is stored in CASE equipment for safety.
Like the original Shootist, the mech is not fast but its significantly tougher than most XL
engine heavies, with almost 100% armor protection and the standard engine just keeps on
going and going. The Shootist will continue to serve as the rugged Vanguard units of the
ComGuard, except now, it does it better.
Deployment:
.The production run of the ST-10A Shootist is to be split half, with half of the mechs going
to the ComGuards while the other half is being send to the KungsArme as a heavy brawler and
a shock trooper unit.

For when you really want to beat the hell out of someone....
The speed is about average for a mech of its weight, so no real good or bad there. The mech uses a standard engine, so you wont have to worry about embarassing ammo explosions taking out your engine.
The CASE will let you slavage at least part of this mech, should the ammo decide its had enough.
The weapons are fairly impressive. A bit of fire discipline is needed, though, but the heat levels will be manageable, even with a couple of alpha strikes.
A good mech for wading in and bashing anything that moves. Straight, simple, to the point.

Interesting redesign, the PPC gives it stronger long range punch, but it can't use all the weapons so often. The durability of the original remains and the close range weapons are a little stronger at the cost of accuracy. Dangerous city fighter.

This should be renamed the energiser bunny :D
It's everything the original Shootist was and then some. Tough, Durable. Even if the ammo blows, it will still be able to fight.
I like the reasons for the keeping the original AC/20. It's a very viable reason and gives the Mech character. But an LB will still be nice.. maybe after hostilities end eh?
Nice one.
