Description
Introduced in 2595 by the Terran Hegemony, the LB 10-X AC was essentially a 'Mech-mounted shotgun, capable of firing special "cluster rounds" that fragmented after being fired, allowing the weapon to either spread damage out or focus damage on a small area, depending on the range. LB-X autocannons were able to use either the special cluster rounds or standard autocannon rounds. Having a higher caliber, it caused higher damage than lower-caliber autocannons, though it was limited to medium ranges.[9][10][11]

Oriente Model 0
Unlike many post–Succession Wars LB 10-X autocannons, the Oriente Model 0 is actually a Star League era weapon, whose manufacturing line survived the early Succession Wars, with production only ceasing due to the Sphere-wide decline in material technologies. When the Helm Memory Core reversed this trend, Oriente Weapon Works was able to reactivate their idle production line in short order, rather than having to expend R&D efforts to do so.[48]

Irian | Irian Technologies | Albatross | [51] |
Variants
- LB-X-P
- The Federated Commonwealth employed an experimental version of the LB 10-X during the War of 3039, giving it to certain elite units for field testing. While similar to standard models, these prototypes required an additional mounting space, were slightly less accurate, and could jam in certain cases.[52]
- LB 10-X-P
- In development prior to the Reunification War, the LB 10-X-P was a prototype pushed into service with the Star League Defense Force in time for the closing years of the campaigns in the Rim Worlds Republic and Taurian Concordat. The LB 10-X-P was functionally identical to the LB 10-X, with the exceptions of requiring additional mounting space, suffering less target hits when using cluster munitions, and jamming in a fashion identical to that of the ultra autocannon class of weapons.[53]
Notes
- This article refers to a common object and addresses the object as a common noun. The preferred term is "LB 10-X AC", with "autocannon" abbreviated to "AC" (except on section titles & table headings, where "LB 10-X Autocannon" is favored).
