The '''Hollander''' is a light BattleMech designed as a gun platform for a massive shoulder-mounted [[Gauss]] Rifle, which makes it quite recognisable on the battlefield.

==Overview==
In 3054, Coventry Metal Works received a commission from the Lyran Alliance to build a BattleMech based around the use of a Gauss Rifle for sniper duties. As such, Coventry set out to cram as much gun onto as little 'Mech as they could. The result was a 35 ton 'Mech with a shoulder-mounted gun longer than the Hollander's own length, no backup weapons or jump jets and it is low on ammunition stockpile, armor and top speed. These last two were justified that, as a 'Mech designed to walk at the edge of the battlefield it did not need much armor or speed, even for one of the size of the Hollander. Sufficient to say, the Lyran Alliance was not amused.

==Armament==
The Hollander's gun and raison d'être is a Poland Main A Gauss Rifle. Mounted into its right shoulder, the Gauss Rifle can deal crippling damage to any target it hits, though it is limited by its modest stockpile of ammunition, rendering the Hollander useless once it runs out of ammo. Another weakness of the design is that if the gun is crippled (which is rather easy given its limited armor) the Hollander was out of the game.
