I am usually not a fan of the full-face-time "2" size ballistics, they don't fit my playing style very well. However, I am a fun of this specific specimen! The 4 LB2X generate almost no heat, and do not jam - nothing will stop you from continuously hammering and blinding the poor sod on the far end of the barrels, and you can do it effectively up to 1000 m. But this is not how I use it... At brawl ranges you add the relentless hammering of the SRM2s, every 2 sec (before -5% cooldown quirk). SRM2s are extremely efficient in dps/ton and don't even spread much, so this is an 8 damage jack-hammer and even more blinding flashes at your enemy's face. The ML is there because OCD will not allow me to leave an unused hard point - there's no 2 damage laser, so 5 will have to do, and enjoy you -10% cooldown quirk. You can replace the ML by a flamer for the lols. The combination of DPS and suppression are magnificant. The AC2 alternative allows FF armor and the extra tonnage can go to more ammo, or a bigger 265 engine. AC2s are usually better than LB2X, though a bit hotter. I went with the LB2X because I have no other mechs that use them.
