Overview:
    Inspired by my first 'Mech build in MechWarrior Online, nicknamed Bingo and built on the
    venerable BJ-1 chassis.  I have yet to develop fluff for it.

Capabilities:
    I kept the engine stock for simplicity's sake, retained the Jump Jets, and equipped it with
    the efficient maximum of Ferro-Fibrous armor and an Endo-Steel chassis. For long and
    medium-ranged harassing I upgraded the AC/2's of the original Blackjack to their Rotary
    equivalents, equipping each with a ton of ammo.  Unfortunately this necessitated the removal
    of the arm-mounted medium lasers; however, the torso-mounted pair were upgraded to extended
    range models.  I also installed double heat sinks rather than singles to help deal with the
    heat of firing at maximum output.

Variants:
    Originally, I toyed with mounting four ER Small Lasers split between the arms and side
    torsos rather than the ER Mediums.  Then I realized that, if I were to use this 'Mech on the
    tabletop, I would rather keep the enemy at range with the Rotary AC/2's, meaning that ER
    Medium Lasers would be more useful in most cases, and I would only lose two points of damage
    output in exchange for much greater range on my backup weapons.
