Part 824: Battlemechs are Awesome commercials sponsored by Defiance Industries - Piranha

And Here's Another Mech Advertisement

Since we're on the subject of machine guns, I'd like to bring up probably my favorite of the Clan Diamond Shark/Sea Fox 'troll mechs', that is, Mech designs meant primarily to confuse and annoy other Clans.

PRA-1 Piranha



Here at Clan Diamond Shark, we pride ourselves on coming up with the most... 'innovative' designs possible. And to our clients, both within the Clans and in the Inner Sphere, we like to provide... 'quality' machines, built using only the finest in Clan equipment. It is in this spirit that we bring you our latest development, and what we consider the last word in anti-infantry light mechs.

The Piranha, at 20 tons, is one of the lightest models we build, but don't let size fool you: this fish has serious bite. 2 ER Medium Lasers and 1 ER Small Laser provide respectable mid-range punch for the weight class it occupies, but the real threat comes from an unlikely source: twelve Series XII .50 caliber rotary machine guns, while weak individually, provide a shockingly savage amount of firepower at close range, making anti-infantry duty a breeze for even the most inaccurate of gunners. Integral CASE protects pilots from unfortunate ammo cook-off.

The Bergan XIV endo-steel chassis keeps things light and responsive, while a 180 Firebox XL engine lets the Piranha reach land speeds of over 150 kilometers per hour, allowing you to close in on just about any prey you can imagine to deliver all that armor-piercing gatling goodness. To save costs for you, our valued consumer, 4 tons of standard armor make repairs cheap and easy, though we advise you not go out of your way to scuff the paint.

Individually, a Piranha retails for 2,779,740 C-bills, but as part of our Inner Sphere Good Will discount program, you can own a full Star of Piranhas for the low, low price of 10,000,000 C-bills, a bargain value for all your pack-hunting needs. Whether engaging whole companies of infantry, or just running circles around annoying Atlases and Mad Cats, the Piranha is just the set of teeth you're looking for.
