Background
Overview
Gun Pods are ubiquitious additional weapon systems attached to Mechs due to their low cost, low maintenance and cheap running costs. Gun Pods sprout twin 50-cal machine guns which allow Mechs to engage infantry with ease as well as any aircraft foolish enough to close within range.
Although low power in terms of penetration and anti-Mech, the twin machine guns can put down a torrent of firepower in those desperate times when there is no other way.
