Med ranged compared to small and micro lasers builds... But still, it's short ranged compared to most builds. Best used as an harasser with a little more range than usual and decent alfa strike: you won't need to brawl to apply full damage, but you still have to get very close. Use your LMGs to crit open components. ALT: replace cHML with cERML. Better range range and slightly better heat effieciency at the cost of worse maximum DPS and sustained DPS.
