Recognition Notes
The Shootist ST-8C is a 70-ton brawler that closes to close range, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65. It keeps the AC/20 in the left arm and the ER large laser in the right torso from the ST-8A, but swaps the Medium Pulse Laser in the right arm and the Medium Pulse Laser in the center torso for an ER Medium Laser in each of those locations, and drops the Small Laser in the head entirely. Like its 2621 forebear it is built as a command 'Mech. Field refit shops turn out the ST-8C alongside Mitchell Vehicles, which built the original at Terra.
