================================================================================================
Overview:
    Designed as a rebuilt successor to the original Gauntlet, the Gauntlet II
    features a slightly rebuilt frame to accommodate a number of internal design changes.
    Primarily, the original 275 rated light Fusion Engine is replaced with a more powerful 330
    rated extra light engine, and rather than a bulky, heavy MASC system it instead makes use of
    a Supercharger for brief bursts of speed comparable to many light mechs. The cockpit
    assembly is also heavily rebuilt into an ultra-compact form that functions as a fully sealed
    escape pod, though some of the blow-away panels suffer from persistent failures under
    battlefield conditions, complicating ejection.
    
    All told, the Gauntlet II possesses significantly superior speed to its predecessor
    while actually increasing pod space by one ton.
    
    
    All variants of the Gauntlet II possess the Narrow/Low Profile, Easy to Pilot and
    Difficult Ejection Design Quirks.

Capabilities:
    Designed primarily for long range engagement using advanced Clan-grade weaponry, the Zeta
    model carries a Mydron Hurricane CAT-2 class two Rotary Autocannon and Firmir UltraLase
    Extended Range Large Laser, both Clan-equivalent systems, as its primary armament; mounted
    in the left arm and center torso, respectively. This is supported by a pair of Coventry
    Five-Tube Extra Light Long Range Missile Launchers (also Clan-grade weapons) split between
    the right arm and torso, and a pair of Defiance ToadHunter Anti-Personnel Gauss Rifles split
    between each side torso, fed by a single ton of ammunition in the center torso. CASE II
    protects both sides of the torso from internal explosions, while the Autocannon and Long
    Range Missile Launchers are each fed by a dedicated two-ton ammunition bin in the left and
    right torso (respectively).
