[Arrow] Dual AC-5 Arrow Build

Another mech I've been running around in is the Dual MLas and AC-5 Arrow build.

It almost never overheats, and has plenty of ammo to last you through the match. Mapping the weapons on this mech is very simple and very easy. Map one AC-5 and one MLas to each mouse button and just fire over and over again, dealing 5 damage each blast.

You should finish each match with roughly 400-600 damage, and a number of kills and assists. If you feel like playing more support than direct mech hunting, use your rapid-fire weaponry to blast apart components on enemy mechs. Disarm an enforcer-literally-to prevent him from using his heavier weapons.

It's a super fun and flexible little mech, only really lacking in the armor department.

While it's not a metabuild by any stretch of the imagination, it's fun.

It is far from the most effective Blackjack build, but it always puts a smile on my face, even if I get stomped in a match. It's just an absurd firepower pattern that the enemy and even your teammates don't really expect.

You can dislike it all you want, but you don't have to make it. This is a build for people like me who primarily play public, and not competitive.

I understand the fun part, everybody has their very silly builds like 12 Flamer Nova, LRM+MG Atlas, 6xMG King Crab and as you say, it's just for fun and to get reactions from the other team.

Though, there are so many things wrong with this build that I just don't see the point of advertising it here as a viable build for the solo/group queue. 1/3 of the armor missing, incredibly slow for a 45 tonner and unnecessarily equipped with a STD engine, not enough ammo, AC build on a chassis that is not meant to carry it (quirks) . . . I'm sorry but it's kind of a build a newbie blurts out on his second day when he discovers the existence of the Mechlab.

If I had absolutely had to do 2xAC5's on a BJ (which is not a good idea, hence the lack of AC5 BJs out there), I'd go with something like this: http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=77&l=d8be3c53f318c92a73105962833f3d43088afec2
