Variants:
    Although the Vulcan has long been used as a scout and anti-infantry BattleMech, there were
    some who desired a more general purpose machine. Knowing this, engineers at Coventry Metal
    Works developed the VT-7S model. Utilizing parts sourced from many of the biggest ‘Mech
    manufacturers in the Lyran Commonwealth, and making use of home-grown components that have
    been made to Clan-spec standards, the resulting design is far more capable against
    BattleMechs and armor than has historically been typical for most Vulcan variants. For
    long-range strikes, a Clan-grade extended-range large laser manufactured by Defiance
    Industries takes the place once occupied by a light Armstrong autocannon. Similarly, the
    original medium laser has also been replaced by a Clan-grade extended-range model also of
    Defiance manufacture. The arm-mounted flamer and machine gun were respectively upgraded to a
    plasma rifle fed by two tons of ammunition, and a light, short-barreled autocannon. The
    latter is fed by a ton of ammunition kept in a ammunition bay protected by advanced CASE
    systems, and can be loaded with specialty rounds as needed, including flechette rounds if a
    more anti-infantry slant is needed for the design.
    
    These larger weapons required far more mass to be freed than allowed by standard frame,
    engine and armor, so this new model Vulcan has an endo-steel frame and is protected by 6.5
    tons of ferro-fibrous armor plate manufactured to Clan-grade specs. But it is the fusion
    core that is truly ground breaking as the machine is powered by an XXL engine, also of
    Clan-grade manufacture. Although expensive, this fusion core allows the machine to maintain
    its ability to reach almost 100 kph at a sprint, and make leaps of up to 180 meters distance
    thanks to its Pitban jump jets. This engine does make it vulnerable to side torso breaches,
    so the armor plating has been greatly enhanced to nearly maxed levels in its torsos.
