Traditionally seen as a [[House Davion|Davion]] [[BattleMech]], the ''[[Enforcer]]'' was commissioned to be redesigned by then [[First Prince]] [[Victor Steiner-Davion]] in an effort to rebuild his image within the sundered [[Federated Commonwealth]]. While not completely successful in the latter goal, the ''Enforcer III'' does succeed in bringing a classic 'Mech up to a more modern standard. The '''''Enforcer III''''' is built on a Dorwinion Standard-Alpha [[Endo Steel]] chassis that weighs half as much as a comparable standard chassis. Further weight savings were achieved through the use of a powerful Magna 250 [[XL engine]] that gives the 'Mech a top speed of 86.4 km/h, which is complemented by five McCloud Specials jump jets, granting it a jumping capability of one hundred and fifty meters. The ''Enforcer III'' is armored with ten tons of StarGuard CIV armor that gives it good armor protection.<ref name=TRO:3060/>
  
After the [[Jihad]] ended, production of the ''Enforcer III'' was limited to Achenar's [[New Avalon]] production line.<ref name=ofs12>''Objectives: Federated Suns'', p. 18</ref>

==Weapons and Equipment==
The ''Enforcer III'' is built on a [[Dorwinion Standard-Alpha]] [[endo steel]] chassis that weighs half as much as a comparable standard chassis. Further weight savings were achieved through the use of a powerful [[Magna 250]] [[XL engine]] that gives the 'Mech a top speed of 86.4 km/h, which is complemented by five [[McCloud Specials]] [[jump jet]]s, granting it a jumping capability of 150 meters. The ''Enforcer III'' is armored with 10 tons of [[StarGuard CIV]] armor that gives it good armor protection.<ref name=TRO3060p95f/>
+
The ''Enforcer III'' carries as its primary weapon a [[Mydron Excel Ultra Type 10]] [[Ultra Autocannon/10]] that can put twice as much firepower on a target as a standard autocannon of the same class and can keep up a barrage at its maximum firing rate for over a minute and a half. The Ultra Autocannon is backed up by a [[BlazeFire Sweetshot]] [[ER Large Laser]] and a [[ChisComp 2000]] [[ER Small Laser]]. This balanced mix of weapons makes the ''Enforcer III'' a powerful medium 'Mech. Additionally, due to the 'Mech's similarities to the original ''[[Enforcer]]'', the ''Enforcer III'' has become a direct replacement for destroyed ''Enforcer''s in many units.<ref name=TRO:3060/>

The weapons on the ''Enforcer III'' are all linked to an advanced [[Targeting Computer]] that gives the 6T model incredible accuracy.
