Description, Weapons and Equipment
The Rifleman II was an upgrade fielded by the SLDF Royals in 2773, adding twenty tons to its overall mass. The Rifleman II used an Endo Steel structure and an Extralight Fusion Engine, and carried a pair of LB-X Autocannon/10s and Large Pulse Lasers, one in each arm, as well as a pair of medium lasers, a Beagle Active Probe, and fourteen double heat sinks. It carried 12 tons of standard armor. This armament made the Rifleman II especially effective as an anti-aircraft weapons platform.[2][3]
Variants
No factory variants were created.
Historical Turning Points: New Dallas originally featured stats for a customized Rifleman II "Kataga" but an official errata ruling was issued changing it into a customized Victor, removing the customized Rifleman II from canon. [4]
