Description

Manufactured by Jalastar Aerospace from their plant on Panpour, the Gunsmith entered service shortly before the Blackout. Despite discontent over the high price tag attached to the Gunsmith - in large part due to the extralight engine - the Gunsmith quickly earned a fearsome reputation as a pursuit BattleMech and raider. Although capable of overheating if the MASC system is overused, the Gunsmith could exceed two hundred kilometers an hour when running, and the combination of the Jalastar Mk. V-CH7 endo steel chassis and an XL Gyro allowed the Gunsmith to mount five and a half tons of Reflective Armor, which reduced the chance of the expensive PlasmaStar engine taking damage before the Gunsmith could escape from combat. The Gunsmith also had a Full-Head Ejection System.[1]

Armament

The Gunsmith was well-armed for its weight, mounting a quartet of Martell-X Medium X-Pulse lasers, installed in pairs in each arm.[1]

Variants

As at 3145 no variants of the Gunsmith had been introduced to service.[1]
