Secondary: Left-hand weapon. (LB3, ELF3, MOONLIGHT, SRS, SG, etc.)
Cannon: Back-mounted weapon. (GL, GLL, LAMIA2, HARPY, etc.)
Stand Alone: A weapon capable of destroying one or more ACs on its own and has room for error. (RA2, RL, SHADE, HOLLOW, etc.)
Complimentary: A weapon meant to add to the overall effect of one or more weapons. (HOLLOW + DRAGON, DEMON + ROC4, etc.)
Back-Up: Hanger unit weapons. (WRAITH, 69H, etc.)
Co-Dependant: A weapon requiring the support of another to be effective. (GAR, GAR2, RM, RM2, RM3, etc.)
Supportive: A part that can take-up the slot for a weapon, but instead supports the user in a variety of ways. (GIGAS2, FUTEN, ROE, PEGASUS, etc.)
Optional: I doubt this needs explanation. Special parts that can be equipped to a core depending on the available amount of optional slots. (AMINO, O7SLA, CODON, MARISHI, etc.)

I don't use the RLA in conjunction with another RLA or RL, I find that it's easier if I pair it with something like a Pixie3, a Gast or with missiles.

The RLA is not a good solo or dual wield weapon or even back up...
But as additional fire, It rocks not only because of it usefulness, but AC's with low stability as well...
Necroing and quoting myself.
Wow. So many ellipses. Ahaha.
Anyways.
I just tried the RLA as a stand alone weapon against Zinaida [EX Arena] and found out some stuff.
- Its firing rate is way much better that RL. We're lucky it has a magazine [reload time is more or less 2 seconds].
- It needs 15 more shots to actually work as stand alone.
- When using an RLA as a main weapon, follow with your secondary weapon only after every 3 shots during the magazine's reload time, OR switch to back weapons. Aggression increases a little, but still cannot be compared to when dual wielding with an RL.

I love the RLA, but I'm still trrying to deal with weight.... I have a lightweight AC that i had made with it I'll post sometime later on..but overall is pretty good as a weapon like serene said definitely needs good primary or secondary to be paired with it..

i'm not a fan of lefty RLA...
not only does it have ridiculous weight, it also has lower velocity than RL, more stray than both RL and RLA ®, and LESS stun than both of them! the only thing you'll stun with this thing is a head damaged hover tank, a feather-weight w/o a S-head/radar combo, or a reverse-joint (sorry Goat)
did i mention it has 20 less ammo than RL..?

I forgot to mention that I use the right-hand RLA.
The way left arms are positioned messes up everything about left-arm versions of right-arm weapons since they still have to raise and point, then shoot. I think it varies per arm, but I'm not sure.

also, FROM made it so that the left arm versions have inferior stats (but not the stats you see)

most left arm weapons just as adiyel said have slightly inferior stats compare to its left arm version in terms of spread rate and shot velocity, this is easily noticeable when comparing with the left and right arm Nix machinegun.
