This is what I am leaning towards now. Viability?

That's interesting.

I tried some different loadouts using dual AC5's in group fire on my Atlas (which is also what I have on my DRG-1N) and liked them. Where they lack in punch, I think they make up for in scaring mechs into hiding with the faster fire rate. I would get my torso cross hairs center of mass on an Assault or Heavy and just hold the fire button down. I eventually went with an AC20 instead to save weight.

It will be interesting to see how effective the LRMs are. That's 14 tons tied up in LRM launchers. If you get a lot of damage out of them, then they're probably worth it. If not, that weight might be better spent on ERLLAS or ERPPC with heatsinks or a bigger engine.

Back to the drawing board. I'm missing 2 things here...1. Little experience using LRMs, 2. LRM damage too low currently. I may try it with the LRM20, some AC, 2 ERPPCs. I will keep this build with maybe a AC20 for any LRM updates.

Build attempt 4:
AS7-D-DC

This is the one I'll go with when I get a little more saved up.
I ran SRM's before, but I'll give the SSRM's a shot before going back to that.
