================================================================================================
Overview:
    A Catapult variant intended to increase the flexibility and ammo supply of the original
    model. An Endo-Steel chassis and removal of three heat sinks and two lasers frees up weight
    for the LRMs to be replaced with 6 MML-5 launchers and six tons of ammo. To manage the heat
    load, the remaining heat sinks are converted to double strength models.

Capabilities:
    The -C5M matches the long range firepower of the original, and while half of the lasers have
    been removed, the ability of the MMLs to fire SRMs and the added ammo actually improve the
    short-ranged firepower immensely, and allow the loadout to be varied to either emphasize
    longevity as a fire support unit, or to focus on SRMs as a close in Ambusher. It is,
    however, important for pilots engaging in the latter role to keep in mind that the armour
    has not been increased, and the Mech is by no means a Brawler.
