==Weapons and Equipment==
 
==Weapons and Equipment==
The primary weapon on the ''Jinggau'' is a powerful Zhi-tong-yao [[Gauss rifle]] that gives the 'Mech a maximum striking distance of up to six hundred and sixty meters which allows the ''Jinggau'' the opportunity to draw the first blood on the battlefield. For close combat, the ''Jinggau'' has a set of four Diverse Optics Type [[ER medium laser]]s and a single, highly accurate, Raker-IV [[medium pulse laser]].<ref name=TRO3060/>

==Variants==
*; JN-G7L : This variant was introduced just after the start of the [[Jihad]], applying the latest Capellan technology to the 'Mech.  A pair of [[plasma rifle]]s are mounted in the right arm, while in the left arm, the 'Mech has been given six standard [[medium laser]]s. To help cope with the heat, the 'Mech's double heat sink count has been raised to fifteen. BV (2.0) = 2,137<ref>''Record Sheets: 3060 Unabridged'', p. 166, "JN-G7L"</ref>

*;JN-G7Lr : In 3078 Clan Hell’s Horses salvaged many Jinggaus from battles with Capellan forces. The Clan was so impressed by the design they rebuilt these salvaged mechs with Clan technology. The G7Lr replaces the IS double heatsinks with smaller Clan versions, and also covers the mech in 11 tons of Clan Ferro-Fibrous. The pair of [[Plasma Rifle]]s remain unchanged in the right arm, but the left arm now carries six Clan [[ER Medium Laser]]s and the head mounts a single Clan [[ER Small Laser]]. BV (2.0) = 2,703<ref>''Shrapnel Issue 12'', p. 41</ref>
+
*;JN-G9CC : An [[Technology Rating|Advanced Tech]] variant that emerged during the [[Jihad]], the ''Jinggau'''s standard armor is replaced with [[Stealth Armor]] and the prerequisite [[Guardian ECM Suite]], while the jump jets are replaced with [[MASC]]. The weaponry has also be significantly altered, a [[Snub-Nose PPC]] and [[Large Variable Speed Pulse Laser]] its main weaponry supported by with trio of [[Small VSP Laser]]s.  To enhance its abilities, a [[Beagle Active Probe]] has added to the 'Mech's equipment, with standard Gyro has been removed for slightly more vulnerable [[XL Gyro]] to free up the weight required. BV (2.0) = 1,709<ref>''Record Sheets: 3060 Unabridged'', p. 167 - Advanced Tech Jihad Variant of the Jinggau.</ref>
 
 
*;JN-G8Ar :The G8Ar is the second Hell’s Horses variant. Similar to the G7Lr the heatsinks and armor are now Clan grade. The entire weapons compliment remains essentially identical to the standard G8A but all weapons are now Clan tech. An [[ER Small Laser]] is added to the head and an [[ECM]] suite is added to the center torso. BV (2.0) = 2,730<ref>''Shrapnel Issue 12'', p. 40</ref>   
 
 
 
*;JN-G9B : Debuting in 3146, the G9B is a radical overhaul of this Capellan staple. The chassis’ already good protection is increased further to 13 tons. The pulse laser is upgraded to a [[Medium X-Pulse Laser]] and the explosive [[Gauss rifle]] is replaced by a clan-grade [[ER PPC]]. The left arm quartet of lasers remains unchanged. A host of other changes exist underneath the skin of the G9B. [[Triple Strength Myomer]] and a [[Supercharger]] are added. If both systems are engaged this Jinggau can run a staggering 120 kph. Additionally, the cockpit, gyro, and both hip actuators are armored. 17 double heatsinks keep the design fairly cool, though pilots will be able to activate the TSM with relative ease. BV (2.0) = 2,747<ref>''Shrapnel Issue 12'', p. 39</ref>

*;JN-G9CCr : Originally an RAF refit of the G9CC, the G9CCr has proliferated out to the Confederation, Federated Suns and Free Worlds League. The [[Snub-Nose PPC]] of the G9CC is replaced with a Clan-grade [[ER PPC]]. BV (2.0) = 2,058<ref>''Shrapnel Issue 12'', p. 42</ref>
