Variants:
    Perhaps the heavy BattleMech with the most changes to it after development work at Hadrian
    Mechanized Industries is the RFL-5H Rifleman. Switching to a large Vlar 300 fusion core has
    improved the ground speed of this model Rifleman from a modest maximum of 64 kph to a
    relatively speedy 86 kph. This was accomplished  not with a change to an extra light fusion
    core, but by switching the somewhat heavy medium autocannons and large lasers for lighter
    weight autocannons with the same range and light particle cannons. The latter have greater
    range than the original heavy lasers, and are also tied into capacitors that allow the
    weapons to hit harder than the large lasers as well. The light weight autocannons do not
    have the impact damage potential of the autocannons which they replace, but do maintain the
    same range profiles. More ammunition storage means that both standard rounds and flak rounds
    can be carried at the same time for these autocannons, or they can be loaded with whatever
    ammunition is required for a particular mission. A switch to heavy ferro-fibrous plate and
    increasing the tonnage applied to the frame has improved protection by almost 33 percent,
    and the shells for the autocannons are stored in CASE-protected bays.
