Description
Introduced in 2595 by the Terran Hegemony. The LB 10-X Autocannon is essentially a 'Mech-mounted shotgun, capable of firing special "cluster rounds" that split apart 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 are able to use either the special cluster rounds or standard autocannon rounds. The LB 10-X Autocannon, having a higher caliber, causes higher damage than lower-caliber autocannons, though it is limited to medium ranges.[8][9][10]
Models
The LB 10-X AC is manufactured on the following planets:
Armstrong Class-B ClusterGun
| Manufactured on | Manufactured by | Typically used in | References |
| Sterope | Sterope Defense Industries |
Oriente Model O
Unlike many post-Succession War era LB 10-X Autcannons, the Oriente Model O is actually a Star League era weapon, whose manufacturing line survived the early Succession Wars - with production only ceasing due to the Inner 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.[11]
| Manufactured on | Manufactured by | Typically used in | References |
| Oriente | Oriente Weapon Works | MAD-5M Marauder, ALB-3U Albatross | [12] [13] |
Other Models
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 critical slot, were slightly less accurate, and could jam in certain cases.[16]
- 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 1 additional critical slot, suffering a -1 modifier to the cluster hits roll when using cluster munitions, and jamming in a fashion identical to that of the Ultra Autocannon class of weapons on a to-hit roll of 2.[17]
