Both the pulse rifles and the energy MG have Special lock boxes IIRC so I started looking back at the stats of both the XP1000 pulse rifle and the MG500/E. One thing I noticed was the XP1000 beats the MG500E in damage race w/o option parts, with the XP1000 having 302 attack power at 3 frames per shot and the MG500E with 185 at 2 frames per shot. Now I don't know how the EH option part works if it increases ROF in a linear fashion or by percentage, but assuming that it reduces the reload rate of the MG500/E to just one frame, then it wins out over the XP1000 with the same option part in damage race.
Then again, no one denies that the MG500/E has the best potential killpower among the two.
Also, FCS' behave differently in the AC1 generation of games IIRC. It seems that certain FCS' give bonuses to certain lock types, much like how the QX-9009 gives a big lock box for ND weapons at the expense of lock sizes of other weapon types (Special lock weapons get a tiny small box with the QX-9009 IIRC).
I think the FCS that gives the largest SP lock was the P/CV, but it has only 1 lock and compromises the lock box of other weapons. I'm not too sure about this, so I think I may have to fire up MOA again soon.
