Pneumatic Shocks Equipment Review

This chassis part, designed for 60-70 ton mecha, uses the action of compressed gases in extremely efficient pneumatic pistons to move your mecha's limbs.  The tubes, motors, everything is laid out in an easy to install modular set of units you can install into each limb.

It gives a dodge bonus of 8, speed boost of 5 and the pipes of the Pneumatic shocks also can be attached to weapons systems to provide your projectile weapons with a 6% damage increase by using pressure and kinetic push to increase the muzzle velocity of their firing chambers.  This Pneumatic Oomph also generally gives all your weapons a 3% increased chance of dealing triple damage.  The particular gases used by the Pneumatic Shocks have a certain ideal heat range for optimal functioning which renders them 5% ice vulnerable.

It costs 812 Ferrite, 228 Bioptics and 39 Niodes. I like using them on Namtars and Smilodons but you could probably use them just as well in a Megazome, Buchis or Orester.
