− The two primary weapons on the ''Banshee'', a [[Magna Hellstar]] [[PPC]] matched up with an [[Imperator-A]] [[Autocannon/5]] with one ton of ammo, are mounted in the right and left sides of its torso. The two systems complement each other with similar range profiles and would provide good firepower for a 'Mech weighing at half the tonnage of the ''Banshee''. Perversely for a close-combat 'Mech their minimum ranges means both weapons present targeting difficulties as the ''Banshee'' closes in on its enemy, and a [[Magna Mk I]] [[Small Laser]] mounted in its head appears to have been installed as an afterthought. Sixteen heat sinks help keep the 'Mech cool though, and thanks to its prodigious size the ''Banshee'' can turn lighter 'Mechs to scrap in hand-to-hand fighting.<ref name=TRO3025r/><ref name=TRO3039/><ref name=IRS>''Classic BattleTech Introductory Record Sheets'', p. 24</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 188</ref> + The two primary weapons on the ''Banshee'', a [[Magna Hellstar]] [[PPC]] matched up with an [[Imperator-A]] [[Autocannon/5]] with one ton of ammo, are mounted in the right and left sides of its torso.
