Description
Like the LB 10-X AC, the LB 5-X AC is capable of firing two different types of ammunition: slug and cluster. A slug shot is akin to a traditional autocannon round that deals 5 points of damage to one location. A cluster shot, however, fragments like a shotgun round and spreads its damage around. This effect creates flak that is useful against VTOLs.
Variants
In the years between the Second Exodus and the beginning of Operation KLONDIKE the nascent Clans began development of what would become the LB 5-X. Experimental prototype versions of this new weapon were used during Operation KLONDIKE in small quantities. The Clan Prototype LB 5-X available during this period has identical stats to the Inner Sphere LB 5-X Autocannon, other than that it requires 1 additional critical slot, and when rolling on the Cluster Table to determine the number of hits from cluster munitions, a -1 modifier must be applied to the result, down to a minimum result of 2.[3]
