{{Mech Description
 +
|Description=Unlike most light Mechs, the Puma is not for scouting. It has an excellent amount of firepower and is used for fire support. It is a match for many Inner Sphere medium Mechs.
 +
|Strengths=No other mech in the Puma's weight class can deploy the quantity of firepower the Puma is capable of carrying. Heavy [[Ballistics]], [[Energy]] and specialized [[missile]] systems fit easily into the arm mounted Omni slots. Its small profile helps conceal it, and the Puma is often overlooked by heavy units in search of serious threats. Configured with [[Arrow IV Cluster]], [[Arrow IV Thunderbolt|Thunderbolt]], or dual [[ERPPC]]s, it can stand off at a distance and wreak havoc to defenses and missile support units.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/index_mechs.htm MechWarrior4 - Technical Reference Manual]</ref>
 +
|Weaknesses=The Puma sacrifices a great deal in the search for offensive firepower, and this creates weakness in the design. Armor protection is minimal, and the Puma can be rendered ineffective with even relatively small amounts of counter fire. The arms carry all of the heavy weapons potential, and these can be easily removed as their maximum armor value is only 18 points. The speed and maneuverability are poor for a 35 ton mech, and its almost complete lack of electronic equipment limits its use as a scout or insurgent.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/index_mechs.htm MechWarrior4 - Technical Reference Manual]</ref>
