==Overview:==
 --- The LAR-4 Lariat is a 15 Ton BattleMech designed to move with vehicle
and infantry assets to provide them with economical close-range fire support.
Although under-whelming when engaged in any form of 'Mech-on-'Mech combat; the
LAR-4 Lariat exhibits overwhelming firepower against common paramilitary-grade
assets, especially within urban environments. The LAR-4 is also handy for
breaking through entrenchments and assaulting crew-served weapons in prepared
positions.

 --- The LAR-4's twin Four-Tube SRM launchers are both fed by a single ton
magazine, however when on the offensive this ammunition-based weaponry can be
configured with ammo that more closely fits the nature and disposition of the
enemy forces. Fragmentation SRMs and Smoke SRMs are particularly popular
choices, while Inferno and Tandem-Charge loads are not unheard of either.

 --- Three tons of BAR 10 BattleMech Grade Armor provide the LAR-4 with
enough protection to weather small arms fire for protracted periods of time, while
the Lariat's 60 Rated Fusion Engine propels it to a maximum ground speed of
64.8 km/h. Ten Single-Strength Heat Sinks keep the LAR-4 cool even under the
hottest conditions while the roomy cockpit makes extensive postings a breeze.

==Variants:==
- LAR-5 
             - Cost:935,410 C-Bills
             - BV2: 306

 --- The LAR-5 Lariat simply swaps out the SRM 4s for a pair of LRM 5s with
one ton of ammo.
