================================================================================================
Overview:
    Technically the first refit to the pair of trebuchets serving The Last Watch, the 5LW2 saw
    heavy use before the company came into possession of the CASE systems seen on the 5LW.
    However at this time the pair kept their former designation as 5Js, and the 5LW2 was not
    formally introduced until some time after the 5LWs had been serving and suffered damage to
    the CASE systems after severe ammo explosions.

Capabilities:
    The trebuchet 5LW2 performs the exact same as the 5LW, but switches out the destroyed CASE
    systems for a small laser mounted in the head. Otherwise the machine is the exact same and
    should be viewed as a side grade, trading the safety precautions of the CASE for the small
    increase in fire power provided by the small laser.

Deployment:
    The Trebuchet 5LW2 is deployed just the same as the 5LW.

Variants:
    The 5LW, with the CASE systems

Notable MechWarriors:
    It is not known if the Mechwarriors known to pilot the 5LWs survived to pilot the 5LW2, but
    both Bonnie and Clyde were known to pilot this design before the 5LW.
