That's but one of the issues that would keep the original BT rules from working well with either HT or UT.

My opinion is if you want BattleTech play BattleTech. The rules make mech engagements more survivable for the machines than realism would suggest, except hand-to-hand engagements, which are more destructive than they should be. But it's fun.

I, also, had "Gunner (BattleMech)" as a specific skill, instead of discrete "Gunner" skills. It's more intuitive for BattleTech and fits better with the canon and fiction. Quote:

Re: Battletech/Mechwarrior mechs in GURPS
If building as a character, there's a Dragon article (according to sarna.net, Dragon # 166) which took the advantages/disadvantages mentioned in the Tech Read-Outs, and gave them game effects (e.g., the Marauder having hip problems, IIRC).

It converts the quirks into BattleTech game effects, all right, but for the GURPS player I suspect just using the original quirk descriptions would work better.

Which is to say that the ranges and rates of fire given in BT are pretty nonsense and one shouldn't use them as guidelines for conversion. >.>
