Description
The Rifleman started life as a 50 ton medium mech, not the 60 ton heavy that we know and love today. While the RFL-1N was a primitive design, the later modernized RFL-2N proved quite successful for its era. Armed with two PPCs and four Medium Lasers, the -2N was a simple and effective design and excelled in both line combat and anti-aircraft operations. While the 16 standard heat sinks were insufficient for sustained fire, volly fire worked well. The -2N mostly left production after the RFL-3N's introduction though some backwater Periphery powers kept the design in service for centuries to come.

Description
The original Rifleman, the RFL-1N and -2N, were left behind by the Inner Sphere centuries ago. However, the Periphery never forgot the design and kept it in production due to it being rather cheap while retaining good combat effectiveness. The -2PA is a refit to help the design keep up with the modern day. Armed with a Chem PPC and Large Chem Laser in each arm, the -2PA is entirely ammunition dependent but often that doesn't actually matter since the design can defeat most enemies its own size or smaller in a few blows.

Description
The original Rifleman, the RFL-1N and -2N, were left behind by the Inner Sphere centuries ago. However, the Periphery never forgot the design and kept it in production due to it being rather cheap while retaining good combat effectiveness. The -2PAB is a refit to help the design keep up with the modern day. Armed with twin Light Rifles, twin Large Lasers, and twin Medium Lasers, the -2PAB solves the ammo problem of the -2PA though it introduces a new heat issue to the design. Still, the -2PAB is well liked by Periphery MechWarriors.
