Heimdall can't be launched from a drone rack, they need a rocket launcher. Multi-rocket launchers surely exist, but they are military material.
EDIT: what you want is the Fleche Hail barrage rocket launcher, Arsenal p.123. It is not too expensive, but it is a main gun and it has Availability 25. |

Can the Kull carry two of them in it's external airdrop cargo mounts? |

No: you need a Body of 6 to carry 1 main gun. So no drone, but it can fit on a motorbike (IMG:style_emoticons/default/silly.gif) And I hope the Mitsuhama cyborg bodies have special rules, because a tank cannon on a guy's back sounds a bit off.

I assume Simon's asking about carrying 2 Heimdall's, not Main Guns. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) They're supposed to be launched from rocket launchers; you'd need a weapon mount.
No, you need a Body of 14 to have a main gun, with GM approval. |

This is for a heavy turret, but main guns can also fit in fixed mounts and you can get those from Body 6. It sucks for targetting, but you don't care so much for a Heimdal launcher. A simple rocket launcher can do too. You will just miss the pleasure of blasting 30000 nuyen in one shot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif) |

Ah, I see what you're saying. I don't agree, but the book doesn't bother to describe a fixed mount size above Reinforced. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I must be flashing back to Rigger 3.
From the GM's point of view, Body 6 is unreasonable; perhaps 12, or *maybe* 9 (1 light mount = 3, 1 reinforced = 6, 1 heavy = 12)? |

There's a limit of Body 3 on what we can bring with us, and even then it has to survive a 2000 m fall, with one parachute per contestant. Apparently the tricked out bus-fort I was thinking of was a little much.

EDIT: what you want is the Fleche Hail barrage rocket launcher, Arsenal p.123. It is not too expensive, but it is a main gun and it has Availability 25. Honestly? Is it so hard to group a bunch of aproriate diameter pipes together and put rockets in them? Especially rockets that don't even need aiming, can be wirelessly "fired", and can be piloted by a rigger? Seems a lot easier to make a MLR for those than a rocket launcher that self re-loads. The Koreans managed a cart transported MLR made of wood back in the BC era... |

Just buy a bunch of LAWs, cheapskate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Logic and reality have no place in SR, and the rules say they must be fired from a rocket launcher.

You could use the Crafting/Building (my RPGs swirl into one so I forget the name) to try and create a rocket launcher. The time/cost/skills required will probably put you off it.
Fun Fact: Availability rules mean you can start with a rocket launcher, but not rockets. (Except the Zapper - one of the best, but still stupid) |
