In my test runs, I found the machine gun to be a very valuable weapon system when it is grouped together. However, using machine guns alone doesn't do a lot of damage if any, but if you use them with heavier weapons you can do a lot of damage. I found a lot of videos of people using machine guns on armored targets, and they fire off all their ammo without doing much damage at all. To those people, they don't understand what kind of damage the machine gun can inflict on a mech. They believe machine guns are useful against unarmored targets, like infantry, and soft skinned vehicles. I use them in tandem with PPCs, or autocannons. I have two reasons why I use machine gun arrays.

The first reason is to keep up a continuous rate of fire. For example when I use heavier weapons they generate a lot of heat like PPCs or Autocannon 10s. The heavier weapons strip off armor, and the machine guns strip off the thinner layers. The second reason why I use machine gun arrays is to inflict internal quickly. The machine guns may only do only 0.1 point of damage, but 5 machine guns can do about 5 points of damage per second. In my configuration, I added 2 small lasers with the 5 machine guns to do additional damage. This mod is pretty successful and it generates very little heat, and it provides a lot of firepower.

I do have other mods based on the Jagermech, like 5 machine guns, 1 autocannon 2, and 2 medium lasers. This mod was the most successful and in some missions I was able to kill 4 mechs and inflict about 780 points of damage. The autocannon 2 is an excellent weapon, and it has a very good rate of fire. I put about 600 rounds of ammo, and the machine guns had about 12,000 rounds. I also grouped all the ballistic weapons together, and the 2 medium lasers were grouped together. I do like the configuration I used on this video, and in some missions I inflicted about 700 points of damage, and killed about 4 mechs when I didn't fight overwhelming odds. The machine gun is a complementary weapon, it isn't a standalone weapon. Kind of like tomatos and spagetti goes together, or ketchup and fries.

The application of this mech is great for close range fighting, and I did kill much heavier or equal mechs in point blank engagments, like Atlases, Highlanders, Catapults, Quick Draws, & Cataphract. When I engaged with bigger mechs, I would concentrate my fire on their heaviest weapons to disable them. The machine guns are excellent in destroying limbs and weapon hard points after you strip most of the armor off. If you plan to use 6 machine guns with very few heavy weapons, it is a pretty useless modification. In my opinion you need at one heavy weapon with a decent rate of fire for it to be effective.

In my mod, I added a XL 310 engine, so I could get good speed and increase my tonnage potential. The XL engines are expensive, but they are lighter than standard engines for the same rating. The weight savings translates to carrying more munitions, weapons, and equipment. In my configuration, I needed a lot of ammunition, because it has a lot of ballistic weapons on it. My mod is 12 kph faster than the stock, and speed on the battlefield means life! I did add a XL 300 engine on other mods, and you can get the speed up to 82 kph which is very good for a mech of this mass.

Overall, if you like ballistic weapons, and if you don't want to waste one second of blows to the enemy it is the mech for you.
