The venerable mauler hasnt seen much of an upgrade in the past half a century since it was deployed by the DCMS.
However, building on a new endo steel chassis, the MAL-5R developed by the republic is a nasty city fighter and can handle itself at range too.
Packing dual RAC-2's and LRM 15s each fed with 1 and 2 tons of CASE II protected ammo bins respectively for each side of the torso, it is more than capable of staying in the fight.
Backing that up, is 2 pairs of medium pulse lasers in the arms. 12 double heat sinks try to keep the mech cool, but if a pilot alphastrikes they will most likely suffer some ill effects.
