Another fairly silly design was the Firepower Luxury on page 20 of VG2 .

Almost $30K for a car with PR Tires , 6pt Hubs & Guards , only a total 100pts of Armour & no Computers in sight ...

It is I suppose a nice idea , but just doesn't work: you'd be lucky to get off 3 or 4 shots using it before your crippled or destroyed .

Upping in to a $40K Model - with Super PP & Fire Extinguisher swapped for Large PP w/SCs , Fireproof Armour , Component Armour & a Hi-Res helps a bit , but not much .
Those VMGs are too heavy & often woefully underused to justify mounting them .

It's a bit like the King Dragon (page 24 VG1) - all 'heavy weaponry over common sense' . Can only recall a King Dragon being used twice in our 1980's games & neither times did it last long .
