==Canonicity==
This weapon was featured in an official [[BattleTech]] product, namely the ''[[BattleTech (Video Game)|BattleTech]]'' computer game by [[HBS]].

By virtue of being an official albeit not positively canonical product, the game expansion and the weapons and equipment presented therein including this one must be considered [[apocryphal]].
==Description==
The '''COIL''', short for '''C'''ontained '''O'''verflow '''I'''nertia '''L'''inkage is a weapon that generates power from the kinetic energy of a [[BattleMech]]'s movement. A COIL weapon deals more damage the faster its carrier moves before firing it.

Jump-based movement, as it doesn't involve the 'Mech's limbs moving and generating kinetic energy, is not able to fuel a COIL's shot.

The system can explode if damaged due to the energy stored in its batteries.<ref name=BTHM>"BattleTech: Heavy Metal Expansion Pack"</ref>

==Models==
=== Herakleion ===
