Custom Variants
- RFL-3N-2 Rifleman II Kataga
- This Rifleman II was used by Major General Carlos Kataga, the SLDF officer in charge of the New Dallas garrison before the Amaris Civil War.[4] It was broadly similar to the standard Rifleman II, but instead of having an LB-X autocannon and Large Pulse Laser in each arm, it traded these for a pair of Large Pulse Lasers in the left arm and a Gauss Rifle in the right arm. Four Jump Jets allowed it to cover 120 meters in a jump, and it was protected by fifteen tons of armor. BV (2.0) = 1,991[5]
Related BattleMechs
- 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
- 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]
Notable Pilots
- Gray Noton - Arguably the most famous Rifleman pilot in the Inner Sphere, the almost unbeatable Noton won an unprecedented seven Solaris VII Championships in the early 31st century, earning both him and his Rifleman the nickname of "Legend-Killer". While undoubted highly skilled, Noton's success even against much heavier assault 'Mechs led to rumors that he actually piloted a LosTech equipped Rifleman or even a heavier and advanced Rifleman II that he discovered in the Periphery during his time as a mercenary.[7][8][2]
- Carlos Kataga - Major General of the SLDF in charge of the organization and defense of New Dallas during Operation APOTHEOSIS.
