[edit] Description
CPK-6 is latest line of IndustrialMechs by Coventry Metal Works which are designed exclusively for security duty. It was designed using many of the components from the Commando Class BattleMech. By lacking many BattleMech features and sharing parts, the Copper is half the cost a Commando.
They're primarily used by civilian law enforcement, private security agencies, nobles, and corporations across the Lyran Alliance and other succession States. They can be found more numerously in the Alliance's Coventry Province.
As a SecurityMech, rare by Interstellar Law, the Copper is primarily an anti-riot 'Mech, which can also act in security situations. The 'Mech has no military grade environmental sealing, which limits the pilot to wearing a gas mask or air tank if the area they're operating in has hazards in the air (or a a lack thereof).
The 'Mech is limited to 64.8 kph by its Fuel Cell powered engine.
[edit] Armament
The Copper is armed with an SRM-2 Launcher in its left arm with ton of ammunition, which is typically loaded with tear gas ammunition. In its right arm, the 'Mech mounts two Machine Guns with one ton of ammunition. They most often use rubber bullets in riot situations.
[edit] Variants
- CPK-19 - Star League Era Copper
[edit] Notes
The design is noted to have several earlier variants prior to the 3065 model of the Copper. CPK-19 is the only named variant, which includes no information regarding its equipment or capacities.
