[@darkmatter] More or less hitting the nail on the head. I figured that EPGs meshed really well with the raillweapons of the setting and could give an extra bit of character to whatever laser/plasma rifles end up in play (How many times have you heard a laser go bang?)

Mostly I'm just trying to get a better grasp on the 'guts' of the mechs and tech, since I'll be making a trio of soldiers specialized in ambushing enemy pilots.
