The anti-missile system is used to destroy missiles before they strike their target. This is accomplished by using a short ranged rapid firing weapon which shoots at the missiles.

Enemy LRM missles are targeted in a 360' zone at 200 meters.
all friendly AMS protects ALL nearby friendly units. (two mechs standing near each other protect each other, 3 or 4 nearby can easily soak up large LRM volleys)
there is no way to turn the buzz firing sound off
Additionally to the 1 slot and weight (1t) of the AMS-system, it takes 1 slot (+1t) to hold the ammunition (which needs to be replenished after battle ... and is advisingly housed in a CASE).
