Line 16: I am so glad to see that this article describes the Orion's SRM launcher as being on the left arm as it should be, rather than stubbornly insisting that it is instead located in the left torso. For some reason they keep denying that there is a simple typo in the stat block (LT instead of LA) and instead insist that all of the artwork and all of the descriptive text of the Orion, even though the Orion's LA/LT would hardly be the only typo in that book. For further evidence, if any more is even needed; the ON1-V variant actually has a second SRM added to the right arm, and we are apparently supposed to believe the designers actually moved the original SRM from the left torso the the left arm before adding an SRM to the right arm, rather than just adding an additional SRM to the right arm to match the left.
