Now that's a beautiful mech.

But I'm not buying it.

NOTE: Long gun barrels not included. :P

Oh, so the next robbit actually will be the Rufflesman.

Well hey, at least the high-mounted ST lasers give it some kind of advantage over the Jager/Firebrand.

Hitboxes look like another problematic case of "Do I want huge side torsos that make XL suicidal" or "Do I want small side torsos that make me die in seconds."

I wanted to post 15 minutes earlier but first had to search the forum for making sure no one else postet it, and then I was surprised really no one did. ;)

What exactly makes the Rifleman different form the Jaeger? (leaving quirks aside)
Ah right nothing.. its supposed to be the same mech.

Still looks nice though :)

The high-mounted side torso lasers are the only immediate difference I can see.

It looks amazing, except for the arms, they look off.
I don't want to say terrible yet, but pretty that is where I am heading.

It's prettier.

And there's a potential hero mech (Rifleman II Kataga) with jump jets. Time will tell if that'll be the actual hero mech, but I can't imagine any other Rifleman hero mech that would be more popular. Double gauss and jump jets, baby.

Sounds fun until you remember how much tonnage that costs, and how little tonnage a 60 ton mech to play with...

EDIT: I just looked up the Kataga and apparently it's 80 tons. While this is plenty of weight to use jumping twin Gauss, do you really expect PGI to have one variant have a different (superior) weight than its C-Bill counterparts?

Hello Rifleman :D

Riffles will probably have ST issues as well, but then again those arms might be able to actually cover the torso from the side?

Hardpoints should be different. Rifleman's more energy based than Jagermech.
