==Description==
Manufactured by [[Jalastar Aerospace]] from their plant on [[Panpour]], the '''''Gunsmith''''' entered service shortly before the [[Blackout]]. Despite discontent over the high price tag attached to the ''Gunsmith'' - in large part due to the [[extra-extralight engine]] - the ''Gunsmith'' quickly earned a fearsome reputation as a pursuit [[BattleMech]] and raider. Although capable of overheating if the [[MASC]] system is overused, the ''Gunsmith'' can exceed 200 km/h when running, and the combination of the [[Jalastar Mk. V-CH7]] [[endo steel]] chassis and an [[XL gyro]] allowed the ''Gunsmith'' to mount five and a half tons of [[reflective armor]], which reduces the chance of the expensive [[PlasmaStar]] engine taking damage before the ''Gunsmith'' can escape from combat. The ''Gunsmith'' also makes use of a [[Full-Head Ejection System]].<ref name="TRO:3145FSp32+"/>
