Anti-Personnel Pod
An Anti-Personnel Pod is a piece of equipment designed specifically for 'Mechs. A-Pods are carried in the leg(s) of a 'Mech and can be used to attack conventional infantry that is occupying the same hex as the 'Mech. An A-Pod is a one-shot weapon that deals 1D6 points of damage to conventional infantry and has no effect on other units.
A-Pods were developed by the Clans, but were rapidly adapted by the Inner Sphere. No matter which technology base is used, the half-ton A-Pods function identically.
