==Overview:==
     The first Rifleman was built for Star League by Kallon Industries in
2505. Designed as a medium fire-support vehicle, this early model was lighter
and less heavily armored than the current version, and mounted Kallon Class C
laser cannon. Chronic overheating forced the addition of more heat sinks and
the replacement of the old lasers with more efficient Magna IIs and IIIs. 
     The current incarnation of the Rifleman, the RFL-3N, was first built in
2770, during the collapse of Star League. Arm-mounted Kallon Imperator-A
autocannon replaced the Mark II lasers, producing the familiar configuration
of two medium and two heavy lasers and two medium autocannon. Although
designed to be primarily a fire-support 'Mech, the Rifleman can hold its own
in close combat against lighter 'Mechs.

This variant only appears different by the fact it has a laser in the
Center-Torso. Once you fight it however, the differences become rather
clear...

==Capabilities:==
This Rifleman variant is notable for being 5 tons heavier and slower. Despite
this, it is still a formidable opponent. A pair of Mydron Tornado
Rotary-Barrel Class 5 Autocannons and a Diverse Optics Type 20 Large Pulse
Laser occupies each arm. These two weapons pack considerable punch, but change
the Rifleman to an infighter, as its enhanced armor indicates.

The design lacks a case for either arm, which contains two tons of AC/5 ammo
for the RACs, and if the pilot doesn't watch the heat levels, these bins may
very well detonate!

A single Diverse Optics Type 18 Medium Laser provides a token of backup fire.
Interestingly enough, the NAIS mounted a prototype Variable Range Targeting
Computer on the mech. Like its predicessor, it suffers from heat chronic heat
problems if it alpha-strikes. However, an experience warrior can
counterbalance this with good heat management.
