================================================================================================
Overview:
    Made in the aftermath of the Clan Invasion, the Schutze is a sniper design meant to shore up
    the Federated Commonwealth's defenses against Clan enemies. It would end up being used by
    various powers in the decades since.

Capabilities:
    The Schutze's sniper rifle of choice is a Gauss Rifle, while close-up it has two Medium
    Pulse Lasers. It also has a Guardian ECM Suite to disrupt those who attempt to attack it, as
    well as to thwart enemy ECM. Finally, a C3 Slave is installed so it can have targeting data
    shared with it, allowing other 'Mechs to serve as spotters so it can take harder shots.

    Profile, No/Minimal Arms
