I recently purchased a maller and was wondering what a good setup for npc hunting would be. Mostly frig npcs but any suggestions are welcome.

3 720mm Rails, 1 small autocannon of choice, 2 small smart bombs
1 10mn MWD, 1 Tech 2 Medium Shield Booster, 1 14 or 15% cap charger
3 power diags, Damage Mod for Projectiles, 1 tracking enhancer and 1 sensor enhancer
You should be able to hunt cruiser rats in that once your skills get a tad better if your kinda new. Make sure you are at lvl 3 or 4 for the skills that need the mods I said.

Why would you use projectile guns on a Maller ? It's excellent for lasers, not to mention as it's NPC hunting the lasers would be nice because they need no ammo.
I have no clue of the fitting capabilities of a Maller, but I'd imagine something like this:
3 Heavy Beams, 1 Pulse laser and one smartbomb or two.
You CAN drop the mwd, but in NPC it can save your ship. Go for the Shield booster and put one EM ward on the ship. If you don't use the MWD go for a thermal ward as well. Use Heat Sink II or Extruded Heat Sink, 1 tracking mod and a few power diags or cap relays.
Why the sensor enhancer in npc hunting ? It's not like the locking time matters... and I doubt you'll be fighting that far away you need a sensor booster vs frig npc's... would just be too time consuming.

This is my setup, i have engineering and electronics 4.
High: 4 heavy beams with radio and multifrequency crystals.
Medium: medium shield booster, EM hardner and cap battery(might change for thermal hardner)
Low: 3 cap relays and 2 power diags.
I can take out about 3 powerful cruisers without going into armor damage so its not too bad for rat hunting.

I like to armortank a Maller.
Highslots : Whatever lasers you feel you have cap and grid for. 5 heavy beams is possible with a few RCU and high engineering skill. The lasers are switchable to 250 rails with antimatter, then you really chew up npcs once you get in range. Radio and Gamma crystals for the lasers.
Med : MWD, and two Tech II cap rechargers, 15% each :)
Low : 400mm Armorplate, named is better, Medium named armor repairer, and cap relays and/or RCUs depending on which lasers you wanna fit. Damage mod if you feel like you have enough cap recharge.
This setup lets you go up close if you want to or stay at range. Works well as long as you dont get stuck on a roid....

well, here my my setup coming, its quite firepower heavy but nice. even though im cutting it very close in the powergrid :)
High Slots
4x Heavy Beam lasers I (loaded with IR, MF in cargo)
1x Quad Light Beam Laser I (MF, to take out those pesky frigates that get too close)
1x Micro Plasma Smartbomb I (takes out some missiles)
Med Slots
1x Medium Shield Booster
1x Azeotropic EM Ward Salubrity I
1x Basic Capacitor Recharger I (to be changed)
Low Slots
2x Marked Generator Refitting : Diagnostic System
1x Basic Reactor Control Unit
1x Basic Power Diagnostic System
1x Partial Powerplant Manager : Diagnostic System
1x Heatsink
this doesnt leave all that much CPU nor powergrid, but strictly speaking you dont NEED the smartbomb nor the Quad Light beam so you can save some there until your skills get improved :)

Guess you never really went NPC hunting? Why wouldn't you use 720mm on any ship that could use Mediums? The bonus to Maller doesn't negate the fact that 720mm is the best M gun in the game. Furthermore, it affords you modules, albeit if you can fit it all, like MWD and Shield boosters without as much worry to your cap.
Ship bonuses are like dirty socks, everyones got it. But not everyone likes to wear dirty socks. Dictating Range with Projectiles and MWD is pretty much the best way to fight in this game with ease. Guy wouldn't have posted if he wanted a suicide loadout like lasers. Have to use all your cap recharghing mods just to keep your guns running... HAHAHA sooner or later that ship is toast.

im only running into cap problems when the engagement is over five minutes long or alternatively when i boost my shield (with a engagement range of 25km its not really that often), in both of these cases im in trouble, or heading that way fast. a good Amarr cruiser skill helps quite a bit
and tactical withdrawl is not a sin, it can be quite a effective way to ensure survival

The Maller I use for agent kill missions is fitted as follows:
3x 250mm rail
2x heavy beam
1x small smartbomb
1x med cap battery
1x med shield booster
1x 10MN afterburner
1x overdrive
fill out lows with power diags and reactor controls as needed.

720mm Rails?  Where the hell did you get your hands on those? 
That said, with all due respect for the miss, but I wouldn't trust someone who can't tell the difference between railguns and howitzers for my setup 
Try this:
Medium shield booster
MWD
Cap recharger
Mix PDUs and CPRs in the lows, throw in a heatsink or two if you like
As many heavy beams as you can in the highs. If you have some leftover grid, small or micro smartbomb to take out an occasional missile.
Peace through love, understanding and superior firepower.

Why would you use lasers on a maller? The bonus gives to cap useage and projectiles and rails already use way less cap. Plus they have lower grid requirements so you can fit more guns, and you'll run out of cargo space to carry loot way before you'd run out of ammo. Lasers r teh suck.
