GURPS Heavy Gear

Those GURPS Acc numbers are pretty extreme. The range numbers sound about right, but an Acc of 10 is really high for a ballistic weapon. I'd consider dropping those Acc figures by either 2 or 4 or so so that things built using the Heavy Gear rules aren't ridiculously overpowered compared to things built on the normal rules. As-is, your LAC is very nearly as accurate as a laser cannon.

The weapon damages seem about right, though. An M242 Bushmaster, which is probably roughly equivalent to an LAC or MAC, does 48 dice of damage with a (2) armor divisor when equipped with its most devestating ammunition, though its range is significantly longer than that LAC.

Wish I still had some Heavy Gear rulebooks lying around so I could actually look up some other stats and such. Ah well.
