This is my lightweight.







Although the image shows me wielding a battle rifle, I already replaced that with a sniper rifle since it's easier to hit with it than the former. Also, I usually wear a shield on my left arm during the start for extra protection since I take a bit of time scanning enemies before picking a target to chase.

I'm loving the laser rifles. I tried both the AM/LRA-229 and Murasaki mdl. 3 and had success with both but I seem to favor the Murasaki more because of the lower usage and charge time. I used to have a battle rifle on the left arm but the muzzle velocity leaves a lot to be desired so I just went with a high-powered sniper rifle with almost the same muzzle velocity as the laser rifle. It's also easier to fire the sniper every 2 or 3 shots of the laser rifle than using something else with a higher rate of fire. I still have a pilebunker (now the 60k one) for hitting unsuspecting tanks and, of course, killing teammates.

I've been watching everyone play and I think I've found a play-style that suits me. I used to jump around, trying to land 6 BR shots up-close with blue lock (and wasting ammo) but using the laser rifle taught me to position myself a bit better (somewhere out of the enemy's sights) and keep a somewhat steady aim before firing. I also love chasing panicked opponents now and the laser rifle works wonders in picking the last bit of AP they have left. Being a lightweight also allows me to chase them much easier than as a middleweight. Got so many kills as a merc for Vagrant Guns doing that last night (normal sorties).
