==Description==
The '''Afreet''' is a [[battle armor]] design created by [[Clan Ice Hellion]]. The Afreet was created when [[Khan]] [[Raina Montose]] ordered two other projects merged, resulting in a battlesuit that seems to fit in well with the Hellion belief in speed over all else. The primary feature of the Afreet is its ability to leap one hundred twenty meters at a time. This comes at a sacrifice to armor, as the Afreet is only able to stop a [[Clan]] [[ER Small Laser]]. It does, however, use [[Improved Sensors]], a holdover from one of the suits it descended from.<ref name=CE /> Following the [[Operation: Ice Storm|Hellion invasion]] of the [[Inner Sphere]], both [[Clan Jade Falcon]] and [[Clan Hell's Horses]] salvaged and produced their own versions.<ref name=TRO118>''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 118</ref>

The only gun on the Afreet is its [[Light Recoilless Rifle (Battle Armor)|Light Recoilless Rifle]]. The positively archaic gun is cheap, simple, and has twice the range of a [[Small Laser]]. On the downside, it has only half the damage potential at best. To supplement the rifle, the Afreet carries two retractable [[vibroblade]]s. These melee weapons are unsurprisingly effective against unarmored [[infantry]].<ref name=CE /><ref name=TRO119 />
