Description, Weapons and Equipment[edit]

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 10-X AC 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]

RFL-3N-2 Rifleman II (Legend Killer)

A possible, explicitly speculative version of Gray Noton's Legend-Killer that may or may not ever have existed (in the sense of a canon rumor), rumored to be using Star League era technology. This suggested variant of the Rifleman II removes the Beagle Active Probe, a double heat sink, and downgrades the Large Pulse lasers to Large Lasers to add four jump jets for enhanced mobility, two tons of LB10X ammo, and half a ton of armor split across the torso and arms. BV (2.0) = 1,768 ^[4]
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.^[5]

Rifleman
Rifleman III - A Rim Worlds Republican design, this was a prototype Assault BattleMech which was equipped with stealth system and Gauss rifles. Only a single unit was produced, which was forgotten in course of time after the liberation of Terra.^[6]
Rifleman IIC - One of the 'Mechs the SLDF took with them when they left the Inner Sphere was the Rifleman. The Clan variant is five tons heavier and mounts four large pulse lasers, jump jets, and an active probe. BV (2.0) = 2,122
