I based these two off the ever-dependable PPC. The Light PPC is intended to be smaller, lighter, but ultimately less powerful than its parent. The Heavy PPC is exactly the opposite: bigger, heavier, and more powerful.
Any suggestions on how to tweak them?
Light PPC
Era: 2750
Weapon type: Energy
Heat: 8 points
Damage: 8 points
Rules Level: 1
Range (min/srt/med/lng): 1/5/10/15
Mass: 6 tons
Crits: 2 slots
Weapon Cost: 160,000 C-Bills
Weapon BV: 117
WV: 97
*Works with Targeting Comp.
Heavy PPC
Era: 2750
Weapon type: Energy
Heat: 14 points
Damage: 16 points
Rules Level: 1
Range (min/srt/med/lng): 4/6/14/22
Mass: 9 tons
Crits: 6 slots
Weapon Cost: 270,000 C-Bills
Weapon BV: 389
WV: 193

I think this belongs in design submissions.
You're light PPC is, I'm afraid, not very attractive. It has the same heat/damage/range as a large laser, but is one ton heavier and has a minimum range. Also more expensive.
I also think your heavy PPC gives too much damage/range (especially range) for not enough tonnage. And not enough heat. And I don't think that the heavy is expensive enough.
To show you my thinking on this. With my own heavy PPC, I followed the heavy laser pattern - more damage, but less range. That seemed more reasonable. And with the heat this thing generates, I don't think you want an ER version.
Heavy PPC
Type: Energy
Tech: Inner Sphere (3067)
Riles Level: 2
20 dmg
20 heat
11 tons
5 crits
range (S/M/L): 5/10/15 (I'm considering making it 4/6/12; any suggestions?)
Cost: 400,000 c-bills
BV: 370
WV: 220
Works with targeting computer: yes

An aside to any moderators that happen to pass by: does this belong in the Design Submissions forum? If it does, will you kindly move it there?

Even with all these penalties, the heavy one is still a way too dangerous weapon for those measly 9 tons.
First: I don't think it should do 10 damage. Heck 12 would be fully enough: the light one does two less, the heavy one two more. And at the same time it would still be a one-shot head chopper.
So yeah, bring the heat back down to 15 (like an ERPPC) and the damage down to 12. It's not the greatest weapon anymore, compared to clan tech. But it is meant to be a 2750 weapon, right? Well at that stage, there was only one UltraAC (5) and one LB-X AC (10). The ERPPC was a novelty. See what I mean? Your heavy PPC would not be the be-all-end-all, but it would be an interesting alternative!
