Overview:
With the rediscovery of the rotory auto cannon many atemps have been used on the battlefeild. the main problem was, and still is, ammo useage and jamming. This latest design was an atempt made by The Lost Mech Lance's owner's Uncle, Samule Brigard, the leader, Knotts, named it the" Uncle Sams Misguided Creation, or the USMC (i applogise to any marines who may read this), in feild tests today it proved to be a very nasty opponet, its GE large caiber mini gun laid waste to much of the land scape. and its victim. While the Lost Mech Lance prides it self on their salvage takeing abilities this design left almost no salvage at all. When questioned about this Knotts reply was quote" war is not a beutty pagent". In interveiw with its pilot, Wartang, who is credited with artilary strikeing a better pilot, said that" it seems work pretty well" well there you have it back to you dan slather

Arg. My hate of Level 3 knows no limit.
That aside, though, Gyros always come in full-ton lots, even when you use partial accounting. This 'Mech would still require a 4-ton Gyro.
5 tons of ammo for a R-A/C-5 is a tad excessive. 3 tons provides 60 shots, enough for 10 bursts at full rate of fire- but odds are you'll jam the thing before running out of ammo any way. 60 rounds gives you 30 Double shots or 15 Quad shots, so it should be enough to get you through just about any battle. 2 tons is, I think, a tad too little, but if you go much past 3 tons, you really start risking ammo explosion.
I'm not really sure what this "Turbo" item is; MaxTech brings in the Turbocharger, but that functions like MASC.
Even if you do stay with the higher-heat XXL engine, you've wasted a ton on the Double Heat Sink. The 'Mech can only build 4 heat by running, then gets another 6 if it fires on full auto. Finally, six more points come on from the two Medium Lasers; a total of just 16 heat. You could spend this tonnage on another Medium laser if you wanted and still be safe, heat-wise.
Personally, I would make this a Level 2 design. If you go to a 5/8 movement profile with a 300XL Engine and use Endo Steel, the 'Mech can recieve almost full armour plating (standard, 12.5 Tons, 1 point short of max protection) you can mount a R-A/C-5 with 3 tons of ammo, MASC (3 tons), and then have another 13 tons left over for whatever else you want to add. I would suggest some Medium Pulse Lasers and a Targeting Computer, but a PPC and some standard Medium Lasers would not be a bad choice, either.
Personally, I don't think Level 3 adds much to the game, at least not these days. Level 2 is broken enough as it is 
Yea, verily. Let it be known far and wide that Nightward loathes MW: DA. Indeed, it is with the BURNING ANIMUS OF A THOUSAND SUNS that he doth rage against it with.
