Overview:
    While a official K variant exist that is similar. K variant only has two one ton ammo bins,
    and has Improved Jump jets to try to increase mobility.
    
    Personal I don't think that is a bad variant. But I have done as good or better than the K
    variant while only increasing the BV2 from 819 to 943 points.
    
    Far as the chassis goes it is upgraded to Endo Steel. While Endo Steel does cost more than
    standard, it's only about 200k more in C-Bills and gives you more weight savings than trying
    to upgrade the 160 Fusion engine to light or XL.
    
    Armor is standard, but provides 99.27% of max armor, and the MML ammo bins are protected by
    CASE II.
    
    Weapons of course the LRM-10's are swapped out for two MML-7's, and each launchers has a ton
    of LRM, and a ton of SRM CASE II protected ammo.
    
    Some would say two ton's would suffice. But why pick trying to go all long or short? Get
    both!
    
    To round out the Whitworth's firepower enough space is left to keep and upgrade the Medium
    head mounted laser, and upgrade to a ER Medium, and a ER Small laser has been added to the
    Center torso.
    
    Also while adding a bit of cost. The heat sinks are now double heat sinks alleviating most
    heat issues. At least till significant damage has been taking.
    
    Though with a standard engine, near max armor, and CASE II protected ammo bin's this variant
    is tougher, more effective at closer ranges unlike the stock 3025 era Whitworth.
