15. "RE: On the Tech of Battle"
In response to message #13
 
   Not having played the tabletop original(s?), I can only assume that this comment means they ported THAT behavior over to MechWarrior Online pretty much unchanged.

Fucking ammo explosions.

I've often wondered, mechanically, how it works. Why does MG ammo cook off so damn easily compared to AC/whatever or missile ammo? And the only thing coming to mind -- and this would be incredibly silly -- is that it's a per-unit percentile chance. Even at relatively low percentages, you have so much more MG ammo than any other type that it would explain the stupid frequency at which the ammo cooks off.
