to come back into use through out the Inner Sphere.

wow.. why would you ever use an AC-5 if you have access to a light PPC?
seriously
10 tons 6 crits vs 8 tons and 7 crits (if you count enogh heat sinks to off set fireing) and no chance for an ammo explosion, or worry about using up ammo?

This is why I am not a fan of any tech beyond whats avaliable in the 3050 TRO ie clan stuff and old SLDF equipment.

The upgrade to the firefly using this is a powerfull upgrade if a little hot. I have never liked mechs that have less jumping MP then what can be avaliable and so taking the opertunity to drop a small laser to add that extra jump MP would be a nice thing in my book. Runs a bit hot, but nothing overly conserning.

Still think the light PPC is over powered, but a good refit none-the-less.
