I want a Krime belt-fed assault cannon. Or at least a belt-fed grenade launcher. Because FA grenades are fun!
...mmm, suppression fire with HE grenades.  Better than a flamethrower.

Ooooh, Leela want.

Duck and cover boys!
I'm a good influence. *nods*

...can you imagine suppression fire with airburst or contact trigger grenades?  It would be like carpet bombing an alleyway or street

Followed within 5 minutes by HTR murdering you, unless you're in the Barrens, because holy heck will terrorism trigger a fast response!
How am I not part of the forum?? O_O I am both active and angry!

It is definitely a tactic for times when you have nothing left to lose, or are in the middle of a place where no one cares what happens, like the Barrens, or a hive.

Or a tactic to use if you're modelling a character off Kane.   ;D

What about the M22A1 or the Bug Stomper armor? No love?

Those are (at least nominally) intended as NPC only gear, which probably won't see much use by players (since they're also super obvious milspec gear.) Hence the lack of love

The Bug Stomper is great - if you can get it - which you can't, therefore it isn't.

The Stoner ist just a little bit more attainable, but all in all overkill and practically unusable without at least 12 points of RC compensation.
You'd have to mount it on a Body 16 vehicle to fire a long salvo without recoil penalty

What about a Troll with a 16 Str using Gas Vent 3 and either a Gyro mount or a Tripod?  If we're talking about a 29k nuyen weapon with an Availability of 24, I assume the character using it must be equally ridiculous... :)

In that case, you'd have a troll that can do almost as much damage with just his fists.

But just for the sake of the argument:
Gas Vent III (3) + Electric Firing (1) + Gyromount (6) + basic compensation (1) + Shock Pad (1) - basic recoil (6) = 6
So yes, you could use it for short FA bursts, provided you aim after each burst. But that doesn't make it any more practical...
