==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Enfield''''' was originally designed to replace the ''[[Wyvern]]'' as an urban combat [['Mech]], but the design never made it to mass production. The plans for the ''Enfield'' were lost during the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] and were recovered by the [[Federated Suns]] on the world of [[Achernar]] in [[2870]]. Knowledge of the design was kept hidden until the 3050s, when the [[NAIS]] selected the ''Enfield'' as a companion 'Mech to the ''[[Enforcer]]'' ENF-5D. The ''Enfield'' thus began production in [[3055]] and has seen heavy deployment to the [[Lyran Alliance]] because of the constant threat presented by the [[Clans]]. Due to its extra-light engine the 'Mech has developed an undeserved reputation for being fragile in heavy combat.<ref name=TRO:3058>''Technical Readout: 3058'', p. 108, "Enfield"</ref><ref name=TRO:3058U/>

The ''Enfield'' began production in [[3055]] and has seen heavy deployment to the [[Lyran Alliance]] because of the constant threat presented by the [[Clans]]. The 'Mech carries eleven tons of StarGuard III armor with [[CASE]] to protect against ammunition explosions. The ''Enfield'' is built on a Blackstone MD2E [[Endo Steel]] chassis and uses a Magna 250 [[XL engine]] which gives the 'Mech a top speed of 86.4 km/h to save weight, allowing it to carry a heavy arsenal. Due its extra-light engine, however, the 'mech developed an undeserved reputation for being fragile in heavy combat. <ref>''[[Technical Readout: 3058 Upgrade]]'' page 134</ref>
  
==Weapons and Equipment==

==Armament==
The ''Enfield'' is built on a [[Blackstone MD2E]] [[endo steel]] chassis, and to save weight uses a [[Magna 250]] [[XL engine]] which gives the 'Mech a top speed of 86.4 km/h.  This allows it to carry a heavy arsenal. Protection is provided by 11 tons of [[StarGuard III]] armor with [[CASE]] to protect against ammunition explosions.
+
The ''Enfield'' carries a Defiance Disintegrator [[LB-X Autocannon/10]] as its primary weapon. This weapon can fire both solid and cluster ammunition, making it a highly effective anti-aircraft weapon. For close combat, the ''Enfield'' has a Thunderbolt-12 [[Large Pulse Laser]], two [[Defiance B3M Medium Laser|Defiance B3M]] [[Medium Laser]]s, and a ChisComp 32 [[Small Laser]].

==Variants==
*; END-6J : The 6J variant of the ''Enfield'' removes the [[small laser]] from the 'Mech and exchanges the [[large pulse laser]] for a [[large laser]]. The saved weight is used to add five [[jump jet]]s, allowing the ''Enfield'' to jump up to 150 meters. This variant of the ''Enfield'' is very reliable, and although it loses some firepower and accuracy in the large laser, the addition of the jump jets gives it a high degree of mobility and survivability.

* END-6J - The 6J variant of the ''Enfield'' removes the [[Small Laser]] from the 'Mech and exchanges the [[Large Pulse Laser]] for a [[Large Laser]]. The saved weight is used to add five [[jump jet]]s, allowing the ''Enfield'' to jump up to one hundred and fifty meters. This variant of the ''Enfield'' is very reliable, and although it loses some firepower and accuracy in the [[Large Laser]], the addition of the jump jets gives it a high degree of mobility and survivability. BV (1.0) = 1,345, BV (2.0) = 1,417
 
 
*; END-6J-EC : In the [[Golden Century]] [[Clan Mongoose]] replaced the autocannon with a prototype [[UAC/10]] and an [[improved heavy large laser|improved large laser]]. (Note: '''EC''' is an abbreviation used by historians to designate "Early Clan" designs.)<ref>''Technical Readout: Golden Century'', p. 62</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,470<ref>''Technical Readout: Golden Century'', p. 81</ref>
 
 
 
*;E ND-6S : Only a prototype in [[3070]], the 6S is an attempt to modify the 6Q to make it more durable. It replaces the [[XL engine]] with a similarly rated [[light engine]], and in order to make up for the added mass [[ferro-fibrous]] armor is utilized. This is not enough to completely make up the difference, however, so the [[large pulse laser]] is downgraded to a standard [[large laser]]. The decrease in heat allowed for the removal of a [[double heat sink]], while the remaining tonnage went into a [[Guardian ECM suite]], which makes the ''Enfield'' more difficult to target. BV (1.0) = 1,268<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Upgrades'', p. 218</ref>, BV (2.0) = 1,413<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Inner Sphere)'', p. 246</ref>
 
 
 
*; END-6Sr : A field refit, this minor upgrade to the END-6S replaces the [[LB 10-X AC]] with a pair of [[light AC/5]]s. This allows the ''Enfield'' to use [[Precision ammunition|precision]] and [[armor-piercing]] ammunition.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 190</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,361<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Old is the New New'', p. 77</ref>

* END-6S - Only a prototype in [[3070]], the 6S is an attempt to modify the 6Q to make it more durable. It replaces the engine with a [[Light Engine]] of the same size. In order to make up for the added mass, [[Ferro-Fibrous]] armor is utilized. This is not enough to make up the difference, however, so the pulse is downgraded to a standard Large Laser. The decrease in heat allowed for the removal of a heat sink, while the remaining tonnage went into a [[Guardian ECM Suite]], which makes the ''Enfield'' more difficult to target.
