−	==Hot Loading==	+	==Models==
−	Nearly all LRM types (and [[ATM]] types, according to [[errata]]) can be "hot loaded", implying that their warheads and guidance systems are armed, even as they sit in the ammo stores of the vehicle. This effectively eliminates the minimum range issue that higher damage ATM have, but at a cost of accuracy.	+	This weapon type is only produced by the [[Clans]], as such no [[Inner Sphere]] models exist.
−	===Hot Loading Rules===
−	For [[CBT]] play roll 3D6 dice, and use the lowest two results for the cluster hit table. Ammo hot loaded this way is armed in the tube, and will explode if the tubes are hit for their full damage value, while also being quite likely to chain react into the ammo stores for the 'Mech (on a roll of less than 6 on a 1D6 roll). They also have a +1 to hit modifier.<ref>Tactical Handbook p. 48 Hot Loading LRMS</ref>
