For starting heavy weapons, I would recommend replacing the Stoner-Ares M202 with an Ingram White Knight, losing 1 point of AP but gaining lots of base recoil compensation.<<I Switched out the M202 per your suggestion>>  Also, grenade launchers, especially the semi-automatic ArmTech ones, are also good, both for their relative conceal-ability and for the versatility that a variety of mini-grenades can give you in combat.

Thanks for your help.

I would recommend you spend your full 200 BP allowance on attributes. Probably best to start with Body. For a troll, he is pretty small, yet still quite wiry and muscled. Probably can do backflips with that agility and strength and the low weight suggested by a low Body.
<< good call >>
Heavy weapons is not a skill group, it is a skill. Unless your GM is doing something different.
<<thanks for you consensus >>
Security design is a knowledge skill, not an active skill.
<<good eye>>

Most GMs will never allow even ONE 6/6 Contact, let alone 4. I suggest dropping the connection of the sister by 2, the connection of the husband by 1 and the loyalty by 1, the connection of the dealer by 4 and then include in your back story why he is so loyal, and the connection of the club owner by 3 and then explain the loyalty or drop it. Then use those BPs on Attributes and resources.
<< I adjusted the contacts down>>
I recommend some more augmentation, but it depends on the campaign. Is this a street level ganger campaign, or a low level shadowrunner campaign where the combat monsters do not have additional Initiative Passes? Do you know about the Initiative Pass system?
<< i had read about the Initiative Pass System but i didn't know how to put into practice. I looked over the rule book again and Augmented my Initiative passes up as high as i could.>>

You only spent 374 BP. 40 plus 150 is 190, plus 10 is 200, plus 98 is 298, plus 35 is 333, minus 25 is 308, plus 18 is 326, plus 48 is 374.

Thanks for the help.
