The '''LRM-5''' is a five-tube [[long-range missile]] launcher mounted on [[battle armor]] suits. The weapon was based on [[Corean Enterprises MacAdams-Suharno|Corean Enterprises]]' [[Corean FarShot LRM Launcher|FarShot Launcher]], which they introduced in [[3057]] and flooded the market with in the [[Chaos March]] region, however it wouldn't be for another few years before full-production models of battlesuits began carrying LRM launchers.  The LRM-5 boasts the same range and payload as vehicular LRM launchers at a reduced weight, while being superior to the portable [[infantry]] model thanks to the stability and fire control systems of the suit.<ref name=TM261>''TechManual'', p. 261</ref>

The drawback to the LRM-5's small size is that it has a more limited range of specialty ammunition is available - [[Torpedo]] or [[Multi-Purpose Missile]]s - given the lack of storage space and alternative loading mechanisms. The ammunition is also directly integrated into the launcher, meaning if one of the tubes is damaged the rounds tied to it cannot be transferred to the other.  Enhanced targeting gear like [[Artemis IV]] also cannot be connected to the launcher.<ref name=TM261/>
