Here's an 82mm version, [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2UZgVbejns]it's actually a low-pressure mortar[/url].

Yeah, you're probably right in that. Actually having something like that might flesh out the builds (Mortar being in didn't really get any real attention tough. Look'd at it but not something my character would use, at least yet.)

Shields, er... any should capable of stopping serious firepower is going to be unwieldy.

True but the question remains, would there be any "light" weaponry that could damage a frame but maybe could be stopped by a shield that would still not be able to take some heavy damage. maybe a shield that would act more as an insulating layer. shields would probably be Over Powered or just something to throw away at the first sight of an engagement. Glad to have your opinion on my little brainstorming.
