==Description==
 +
The '''LB 2-X AC''' was brought with the [[Clans]] during their [[Clan invasion|invasion]]. It took the [[Inner Sphere]] several years, but they were eventually able to bring to technology from the [[LB 10-X AC]] to the lightest class of autocannon, as well. Like other LB-X autocannon, the LB 2-X is able to fire in two modes: slug and cluster. The slug shot is a standard autocannon shot that deals 2 points of damage to one location. The cluster round is a shotgun-like ammunition that usually spreads out its shot to find weakened points in an enemy's armor, however, the two shots that an LB 2-X fires are hardly destructive. The LB 2-X AC has the distinction of being the longest-range weapon on the ground, though its limited damage ensures that it sees little use.

Like other LB-X autocannon, the LB 2-X was able to fire in two modes: slug and cluster. The slug shot was a standard autocannon round while the cluster round was a shotgun-like ammunition that more effectively damaged weakened points in an enemy's armor; however, the two shots that an LB 2-X fired were hardly destructive.

In the years between the [[Second Exodus]] and the beginning of [[Operation KLONDIKE]], the nascent [[Clan]]s began development of what would become the LB 2-X. Experimental prototype versions of this new weapon were used during Operation KLONDIKE in small quantities. The Clan prototype LB 2-X, available during this period, had identical stats to the Inner Sphere LB 2-X autocannon, other than that it required a bit more space.<ref name="H:OKp156">''Historical: Operation KLONDIKE'', p. 156, "Prototype Clan Systems"</ref>
