As an alternate note you could build the ED-209 as a character by taking some limbs off the Iconic robot in Basic and drastically lowering the IQ. :)

I checked the description, and it had three 20mm autocannons (2 in one arm, one in the other). It also had a rocket launcher and mortar. Perhaps you could rule that the arm mounts are in "weapon pods" which combine two of the autocannons in one, and the other cannon and rocket launcher in the other. Either way, it doesn't seem to have Manipulators, though depending on how you interpret it the arms may count as Strikers.

It would probably make sense for guns being able to fire on their own. That level of detail isn't terribly important right now, though. I had actually considered making a thread just for statting the ED-209.

As to tactical shooting, I like it but it's very reality oriented. If you want any amount of cinimatic syle, check out: gun-fu
