Single Hand HHWs

[hoary wedge]

I just wanted a way to replicate this image on the tabletop, tbh!

This is an addendum to the first paragraph/scentance of the normal HHW rules from TO:AU&E, page 127 -
Alternatively, a Mek may carry a Handheld Weapon of up to half of it's total cargo limit (5 percent of the unit's total weight) in a single hand. While carrying this Handheld Weapon, the unit cannot make any punching or pushing attacks with the occupied arm, use any physical weapon beyond what the Handheld Weapon mounts (if any) in the occupied arm, or use any weapons mounted in the unit’s occupied arm.

An example, for carrying by a 50t Mek

I'll note there's rules for carrying cargo with one hand in Total Warfare, and the two-handed cargo carrying rules there are what normal handheld weapons use

Yeah, that's true

HHWs are specifically for two-handed stuff, though

Which is silly

So no pistol wiping? L

I wanna jam a SRM pack directly into my opponents CTR and fist fire the weaponry with it

Gimme a i-OS srm6 tandem charge gauntlet and my life is yours

I feel like this is expressly to avoid ppla making gundams. Like legit no gundam possible is a key feature of the design rules~

Obviously as you can see any savvy person not worried about the fun police can simply divide by 2 and then move on with their lives

I just like the gunslinger aesthetic tbh
