According to MaxTech 1st edition:
CONSTRUCTION
Each hand-heald weapon must be completely self contained--that is, it must include any heat sinks and ammunition required to fire the weapon as well as the weapon itself A hand-held weapon can also mount standard armor at the usual cost in tonnage. Hand-held weapons are too compact to make use of double heat sinks or other special types of heat sinks (or armor). Finnaly, hand-held weapons may not be linked to targetting computers or other systems in the mech carrying them (for example, an artemis IV FCS mounted in the arm).
Example: A hand-held SRM-2 weighs 1 ton + at least 1 ton of ammunition + 2 heat sinks weighing 1 ton each + any armor desired, in this case 8 pts weighing 0.5 tons = 4.5 tons
or
3x SLas = 1.5t + 3 HS = 3t + 0 armor = total weight 4.5t
ATTACKS(paraphrased)
Hand-held weapons must be carried according to rules for BattleMech Lifting Capabilities.
May be fired as a standard arm-mounted weapon.
However, it is carried in both arms and can only fire in front firing arc.
Damage to arm actuators in either arm will affect firing as though it were arm-mounted, culminative for both arms.
If the mech takes critical hits leaving it with no functioning hand actuators, the weapon is dropped at the end of phase crits were taken.
Weapon does'nt generate heat (carries own sinks).
Only uses ammo from it's own supply, can't use ammo from mech even if for same weapon.
Can only carry one hand-held weapon, they may consist of multiple weapon inside the weapon itself.
All weapons mounted in hand-held weapon must fire at the same target, though not all weapons have to be fired if weapon is used.
DAMAGE(paraphrased)
Mech damage to arm, roll 1d6, on 1 or 6 weapon is hit instead of arm.
Mech damage to front center torso, roll 1d6, on 6 weapon is hit instead.
If weapon is armored, mark of appropriate armor damage, excess damage destroys weapon.
Weapon is destroyed by any internal damage, as it HAS no internals other than the weapon itself.
Mech remains undamaged by a hit against hand-held weapon.
DROPPING(paraphrased)
Weapon may be dropped or picked up from ground at any end phase.
Cannot drop and pickup a weapon in same phase.
If mech falls, it may drop weapon, piloting roll required to not drop w/ usual mods +1 for each damaged or missing arm actuator.
If weapon is dropped, it may not be picked up untill end phase of following turn.
A dropped weapon immediately ceases to function.
It can't be attacked while on the ground.
