==The GAU-8 is underpowered in Battletech==

That's it. I'm sick of all this "machine gun" bullshit that's going on in the Battletech system right now. The GAU-8 deserves much better than that. Much, much better than that.
I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine GAU-8 in AMERICA for 400,000 dollars (175,000 c-bills) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even destroy slabs of solid lamellor ferro-carbide with my GAU-8.

American engineers spend years working on a single GAU-8 and fold it up to a million times to produce the finest guns known to mankind.

The GAU-8 hits thrice as hard as Successor State autocannons and fires thrice as fast for that matter too. Anything an autocannon can cut through, a GAU-8 can cut through better. I'm pretty sure a GAU-8 could easily blow through a Great Turtle with 40 tons of hardened armor with a single shot.

Ever wonder why the Successor States never bothered conquering AMERICA? That's right, they were too scared to fight the invincible A-10s and their GAU-8s of destruction. Even in Afghanistan, Taliban fighters targeted the A-10s with their GAU-8s first because their killing power was feared and respected.

So what am I saying? The GAU-8 is simply the best gun that the world has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in the Battletech system. Here is the stat block I propose for the GAU-8:

GAU-8
Type: DB
Heat: 1/shot
Damage: 20/shot
Range: 0/40/80/120
Ammo: 200
Tonnage: 0.25
Crits: 2
Specials: R/C/R140

Now that seems a lot more representative of the firepower of the GAU-8 in real life, don't you think?

tl;dr = GAU-8 needs to do more damage in Battletech, see my new stat block.
