With so many jury-rigging, it is not that strange that Toro 'Mechs suffer weapons malfunctions. The first time a Toro 'Mech fires a weapon in a match, roll 2D6. On a 8+, the weapon malfunctions. Use the Expanded Critical Damage rules (see p. 75, TO) to determine how the weapon is damaged. Otherwise the weapon will function normally for the rest of the match.

More than a few times, Toro has lost a match because of this jury-rigged repairs falling at the worst time.
