==Description==
 
==Description==
Designed for long-range combat, the '''''Gambit''''' was a solid, [[BattleMech#Light|light]] [[BattleMech]], the second 'Mech to have been brought to market by Adam Tech Industries. A solid design, the ''Gambit'' was fitted with a revolutionary new actuator system that allowed it to bring its [[light PPC]]s around to fire on targets directly behind itself.<ref name="TRO:3145FWLp22+"/>

Straightforward to maintain and built around some of the most popular items on the market including armor plating, heat sinks, and myomer bundles, the ''Gambit'' was very popular with 'Mech technicians following its entry to service in [[3136]]. The [[Dynatec 1122]] targeting and tracking system was another popular feature, this time with the [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] who piloted the ''Gambit'' for both its rugged, durable nature and the way in which the heads-up display (HUD) was fully customizable. The Dynatec 1122 was married to a [[Garret T20-C]] communications system, making the ''Gambit''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s electronic systems highly reliable.<ref name="TRO:3145FWLp22+"/> Adding to the ''Gambit's'' appeal for MechWarriors was the cockpit, which in addition to featuring a reliable emergency release mechanism, was also armored to resist [[battle armor]]-scale weapons for at least 10 seconds - a feature clearly intended to make the ''Gambit'' suitable for use in the battlefields of the [[Dark Age]].<ref name="TRO:3145FWLp22+"/>

Produced at the Adam Tech plant on [[Abadan]], the ''Gambit'' featured five tons of [[standard armor]]. Its [[Omni 175]] [[light engine]] allowed the ''Gambit'' to reach speeds of 118 km/h, and also mounted an [[XL gyro]] to save weight for other systems and equipment.<ref name="TRO:3145FWLp22+"/>

The ''Gambit'' was equipped with a [[Fusigon Shorttooth]] [[light PPC]] in each arm as well as a single [[Holly 3-Tube]] [[MML-3]] mounted in the right torso, along with one ton of ammunition in [[CASE]]-protected storage.<ref name="TRO:3145FWLp22+"/>

*; GBL-1L : The 1L variant of the ''Gambit'' replaced the [[MML-3]], ammunition supply, and [[CASE]] protection system with a [[targeting computer]] and [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]]. The combination of a lack of ammunition-dependent systems and high accuracy made the GBL-1L an extremely popular variant.
