======================================================================================
Overview:
The new QKD-5M Quickdraw coming out of the Savannah factory of Technicron
Manufacturing departs from traditional Free Worlds League practice of sticking
with mainstream models. The use of double heat sinks and Kallon FWL Special
Ferro-Fibrous Armor follow standard theory, making significant improvements in the
Quickdraw's protection and ability to dissipate heat. The use of Cellular
Ammunition Storage Equipment to protect the reloads for the long-range missiles is
also sound.
What has created a furor is the substitution of a Hovertec Short-Range
Missile Detachable Quad for the old model mounted inside the center torso. This
one-shot weapon is normally used only on helicopters, hovercraft, and other
vehicles designed to make a single offensive pass and then flee. The lack of
reloads for the Detachable Quad seems too large a drawback to offset the safety
gained by removing the ammo bins from the Quickdraw's center torso.
Luthien Armor Works, meanwhile, is beginning to produce a model that avoids
this pitfall but is controversial in another way. This model, the QKD-5K, removes
the long-range missile launchers, installing two additional medium lasers instead.
With fewer missiles aboard, the 'Mech does not use CASE. With more laser
weapons, it goes further to avoid heat buildup, carrying 17 double heat sinks.
This unit has not reached the field as yet, but it is predictable that many
MechWarriors will be unhappy about losing their long-range firepower.
