Well, a critical hit on gauss ammo is doing 20 points of internal damage,  
if I can remember... It depends on what mech you had, I guess.
Just imagine a 50-ton-mech with a gauss rifle in the left torso...
Sorry, I dislike small mechs, I tend to use a minimum of at least 65  
tons... I favor the MAD-D3D (well, the German descriptions I am afraid)...
But it depends, in some special cases I may use an Grasshopper...

Just thought it would be important (?!!) ??
