Rifleman II

The Rifleman II was an upgrade of the Rifleman fielded by the SLDF Royals in Introduction Year::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.

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.
