That's what I'm saying. It's clearly a heavily modified slug-firing HMG modified for high-burst close-quarters gunfights, based on his time fighting in spaceship corridors (or whatever you want to justify it). Qiang Gao's gun is modified enough from the standard model that we can do whatever we want and whatever is necessary with it. Nope. No way. Not while he can still join fireteams. Keep that B6 crap out of Infinity.
E/M ccw has both e/m and normal ammo. So as long as bts and arm are equal e/m weapon ia superior to what jing qo has, it deals same damage plus isolation plus immobilise on heavies. Heavy HI tends to be 5/6, after ap arm and bts saves the same. Most standard tags are 8/6 so e/m has better chances for damage with statuses on top. 6 point morlock is stupid good.
EM causes 2 x 1/2 BTS save and the normal ammo causes a pretty normal ARM save. I see that this will put a em-vulnarable trooper quickly into a statue but the loss of W or STR is just a normal roll. In CC this is dangerous but not as dangerous as two times half ARM. But I agree that can take a troop out of the game without killing it outright ... just later ;-)
I believe the E/M CCW still causes a wound with the E/M part of it. So a max of 2 woulds+Isolate & Immobilize.
That's N3 EM CCW. In N4, E/M means the weapon is DA, AP and causes target to be isolated. Normal means that any failed saves causes wounds. The weapon itself says all saves are taken against BTS. It's quite literally the best CC Weapon in the game, and yet still not the most expensive. It only misses the anti-materiel trait that DACCWs have, but thanks to ADS of AC2s and similar this is much less useful to have.
I wouldn't be for that either but what if it was a MULTI-HMG!? Hell, a multi is not even as good as a Shang Ji since It's AP OR Shock instead of AND. It would still be cool. It would then have the EXP in ARO.
That's just cheating the system then. Either fix the system that requires such workarounds, or find a better solution. It would. It also wouldn't help fix his problems.
Multi HMG recquires a S5 chassis with stabilisators and all that fancy stuff that a Yan Huo brings to the table without beeing a TAG.
Tell that to the Shang Ji who already has Shock or AP+Shock. One of the reasons for taking SJ over YH. Would it be that much of a difference to have AP OR Shock and EXP?
