==Description, Weapons and Equipment==
The ''Rifleman II'' was an upgrade fielded by the [[SLDF Royal units|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 10-X AC|LB-X Autocannon/10s]] and [[Large Pulse Laser]]s, one in each arm, as well as a pair of [[medium laser]]s, a [[Beagle Active Probe]], and fourteen [[double heat sink]]s. It carried 12 tons of [[standard armor]]. This armament made the ''Rifleman II'' especially effective as an anti-aircraft weapons platform.<ref name=TRO3075>''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 169</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - Age of War'', p. 30</ref>

Four [[jump jet]]s allowed it to cover 120 meters in a jump, and it was protected by fifteen tons of armor. BV (2.0) = 1,991<ref>''Historical Turning Points: New Dallas'', p. 18</ref> -->
