==Description==
The '''''Hitman''''' was designed to work as a spotter '[[Mech]] for advanced [[Arrow IV]] missile artillery rounds. In order to do this, the ''Hitman'' is built to be able to close quickly to the effective range of its [[Target_Acquisition_Gear#Forward_1|Forward-1]] [[Target Acquisition Gear]] using a [[GM 210 XL]] [[extralight engine]], which can propel it up to 118.8 km/h; the 'Mech also carries a [[MASC]] system, pushing its top speed up to 151.2 km/h in short bursts. The 'Mech also carries an [[Apple Churchill]] [[Guardian ECM suite]] to foil any enemy electronic warfare equipment and a [[Wunderland]] [[Beagle active probe]] to detect any hidden enemy units. With the recent invention of semi-guided LRMs, the ''Hitman'' can also guide LRM fire to a unit targeted with its TAG unit. The ''Hitman'' carries five tons of armor to protect it against any attacks that may hit it.

In order to do this, the 'Mech is built to be able to close quickly to the effective range of its Forward-1 [[Target Acquisition Gear]], getting into position to spot targets rapidly. With a Kagushima 210 XL engine propelling it up to 118.8 km/h, the 'Mech also equips a [[MASC]] system, pushing its top speed up to 151.2 km/h in short bursts. The 'Mech also carries an Apple Churchill Guardian [[ECM Suite]] to foul any enemy electronic warfare equipment and a Wunderland Beagle [[Active Probe]] to detect any hidden enemy units.

==Weapons and Equipment==
The ''Hitman'' carries an arsenal that is capable of striking an enemy regardless of the ranges they are at. For long range engagements the ''Hitman'' is armed with a [[LRM-5#Thunderstroke-L|Thunderstroke-L]] [[LRM-5]] with [[Artemis IV]] fire control system for increased missile accuracy. When the ''Hitman'' closes to the effective range for its TAG, it is able to use three [[Medium_laser#Argra_3L|Argra 3L]] [[medium laser]]s to defend itself.

The [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] unit has been removed in favor of a [[C3 slave]] unit and the [[LRM-5]] launcher has been removed in favor of a [[Narc missile beacon]].

==Notes==
 +
* The ''[[Technical Readout: 3055]]'' and ''[[Technical Readout: 3055 Revised]]'' erroneously listed the ''Hitman'''s primary factory location on [[Ozawa]]. As Ozawa has been in the hands of the [[Federated Suns]] for almost the entirety of the [[BattleTech eras|Succession Wars]], this was obviously a mistake. ''[[Technical Readout: 3055 Upgrade]]'' correctly places the primary factory on [[Aix-la-Chapelle]].
 +
 
 +
==Notes==
 +
* In German products, the unit's proper name was altered to '''Heckenschütze''', which rather means ''Sniper''. The model code was accordingly changed to '''HS-1'''.
