================================================================================================
Overview:
    Attempting to keep the longe range while increasing the damage potential was the idea behind
    this design. The Blackjack has been a love or hate mech for a long time, hopefully this
    helps it regain popularity and thence sales.

Capabilities:
    The reliance on energy weapons removes any worry about running out of ammo or an explosion.
    The twin ER PPC's are hard hitting weapons and would give heavy mechs pause about over
    looking this mech. Closing to shorter ranges in an attempt to get within the minimums of the
    particle cannons isn't a real option either as it can open up with it's laser systems
    getting effectively the same damage potential but at a greatly reduced heat cost.

Deployment:
    So far there are about two company's worth of this mech deployed around the Inner Sphere in
    both House units and merc units.
