Description
The Vulcan is lightly armored at only five tons, though this is typically sufficient when facing infantry forces and its narrow profile makes it a harder target to hit. A cruising speed of 64.8 km/h is enhanced with by six jump jets mounted in the rear of the Vulcan's torso, specially vented to reduce heat build-up in the rear, giving it a jumping range of 180 meters.

Description
Vulcans are most often used to pacify rioting civilians and to clear out urban centers. In that vein, the Periphery made use of many of them after they were decommissioned during the Succession Wars. The VL-5PA is one such design, armed with a Large Chemical Pulse Laser, a Small Laser, and a Flamer for those pesky civvies. It's not a popular mech, but no one can deny it is effective at what it wants to do.

Description
One of the most common of the Vulcan's early variants, the 5T was introduced a year after the original model debuted. It removes the Autocannon/2 and replaces it with three Maxum medium lasers, using the mass saved to add two additional tons of armor. The majority of the Federated Suns' Vulcans were 5T models.

Description
While all indications are that Sondra Stoverston piloted a standard VL-2T variant, this Hero 'Mech version of her Bloodlust differs radically in design. Armed with two Machine Guns in the left arm, a Small Laser and another Machine Gun round out the right arm. The head, right and left torsos each carry an SRM-4, with three tons of ammo to feed them. A 240 XL engine is required to mount such a heavy weapons loadout, otherwise the Bloodlust retains the same Jump Jets and Single Heat Sinks of the common VL-2T variant.

Description
The 5M Vulcan is an upgrade of the 2T version used by House Marik that makes the 'Mech far more effective in close range combat. The 'Mech uses a Crucis-II Delux Endo Steel chassis and removes the autocannon for a Tronel PPL-20 Large Pulse Laser and also upgrades the Medium Laser to a Tronel XII Medium Pulse Laser. Eleven double heat sinks were also incorporated. This version of the Vulcan began production in 3052 and ceased only with the destruction of Nimakachi's Tematagi plant in 3069.

High Grade Ferro-Fibrous with CASE to protect itself from ammunition explosions. The inclusion of MASC enables the 5S to move up to 129 km/h in short bursts. Additionally, the Autocannon/2 has been replaced with an Imperator Ultra Autocannon/5

Description
The 5TL Vulcan is an upgrade of the 5M version meant for hit and run tactics. The 'Mech uses a Crucis-II Delux Endo Steel chassis and replaces the usual loadout with a COIL Beam, supercharger, increased armor and finally Improved JumpJets. Also has DHS to compensate for the increased heat of the COIL and supercharger.

Description
Designed by Coventry Metal Works as an experimental variant, the Vulcan-6B radically changes the mech's mission profile. Gone are the lasers and support weapons and in their place are four SRM-4s. To get the tonnage for the missiles and their two tons of ammo, CMW had to use a Light Fusion Engine. This did allow for a little extra tonnage in armor. The -6B has the same speed profile as most Vulcans and upgrades the heat dissipation to double head sinks.

Description
Vulcans are most often used to pacify rioting civilians and to clear out urban centers. In that vein, the Periphery made use of many of them after they were decommissioned during the Succession Wars. The VT-6PA is one such design, though it serves more of an armor-breaker role. Armed with exclusively two RL-20s, both with attached ammo feeds, the -6PA can vomit out quite a few missiles, enough to overwhelm just about anyone.
