================================================================================================
Overview:
    Designed based off of feedback from the short-lived Star League's Gunslinger program, this
    variant of the venerable Quickdraw has proven popular amongst cavalry units; less so among
    commanders on a budget, reserving the design for high profile commands.

Capabilities:
    The QKD-ERD fulfills its cavalry role admirably thanks to its massive 360 XL engine,
    allowing it to keep up with most medium mechs. 11 tons of ferro-fibrous provides nearly
    maximum protection for such a vital power plant and its armament was selected, not just for
    it's role but to allow it to act as a duelist. Effective at medium to long range are dual ER
    Large Lasers backed by a pair of MRM 10s.
    
    The blend of speed, protection, and firepower are not without it's faults. Besides the
    literal cost, the design suffers from endurance issues to its limited ammo and internal
    vulnerability.
    
    The consistent damage also lacks the punch necessary to end fights quickly, giving its
    detractors the idea that this is an expensive toy rather than a truly effective war machine.
    
    Perhaps the biggest complaint against the design is its lack of versatility, specifically
    the loss of the original's jump capability.

Deployment:
    The Jihad turned the production of this Quickdraw variant into a limited run. Though it's
    appreciated wherever it's seen, newer technologies and a shift in production priorities have
    killed this design's future.
