Description
The Light PPC is a smaller version of the Particle Projector Cannon. Introduced by the Draconis Combine in 3067, it is often compared with the ER Medium Laser as it shares damage, heat, and lack of ammunition dependency. The Light PPC is heavier and more bulky, though it does have a longer range profile, albeit with the deficiency of a minimum range. Overall, it's a light and long-range weapon, but not a replacement for the Medium Laser or ER Medium Laser. Light PPCs cannot be installed on ProtoMechs.
For MechWarriors who are willing to go as far as it takes to save weight, it is possible to exchange the standard PPC that their mech comes with in favor of a Light PPC mated to a PPC Capacitor. In some cases, the weight saved by doing this can be used to install additional heat sinks to offset heat problems (that is enough weight saved for three extra Heat Sinks), or to add an additional Light PPC and Capacitor to supplement their firepower.
