Description
The Bishamon is named for one of the seven gods of fortune, particularly the god of warfare and warriors, and attempts to live up to it's name through a mix of advanced construction techniques in order to save weight and advanced weapons systems to make it as effective as possible on the battlefield. The Bishamon is built on a lightweight Fortune VII Endo Steel chassis and is powered by a GM 315 XL engine that gives the Bishamon a ground speed of 118.8 km/h. While the Bishamon's high ground speed makes it a hard target to hit, the 'Mech carries ten and a half tons of Nimakachi Type 3 armor that provides adequate protection for the 'Mech's size. The Bishamon also has an extremely stable frame due to its quadrapedal chassis, at the expense of space available for weapons and equipment.
Armament
The Bishamon is clearly intended to engage its enemies at short to medium ranges. The Primary weapon on the 'Mech is a Shigunga MRM-20 launcher. This is backed up by a pair of Diverse Optics ER Medium Lasers and two highly accurate Tronel XII Medium Pulse Lasers. While the 'Mech is vulnerable to long-range attacks, when engaged in close quarters the Bishamon is an extremely dangerous 'Mech to face.
Variants
- BSN-4K - The 4K variant of the Bishamon is intended to command a C3 lance. In order to accomplish this, the 'Mech has had the MRM launcher downgraded to an MRM-10 launcher and the Bishamon has replaced its two ER Medium Lasers with two ER Small Lasers. BV (1.0) = 932[3], BV (2.0) = 1,105[4]
- BSN-5KC - Introduced during the Jihad, the BSN-5KC is designed to be partner to the 4K by features a C3 Slave Unit in its head. The design retains 2 of the original design's Medium Pulse Lasers each found in the side torsos. The 'Mech main weapon, traditional had been Medium-Ranged Missile Launchers, this has been exchanged for a more accurate Snub-Nose PPC. A single ER Medium Laser has been added to the design to give it more longer-range firepower. The 'Mech armor has slightly increase in rear quarter, while a Guardian ECM Suite been installed enhance protect from some of the more sophisticated weapons on the battlefield. BV (2.0) = 1,443[5]
