"The Rifleman"

The Mech is no stranger to the Inner Sphere

And the Clannsmen know it's Fame

They speak of it in whispers

But they never use it's name

The rifle man is new

The arctic cheetah goes zoom

The rifle man goes pew

The arctic cheetah goes boom

"Legend-Killer" takes the field,
its weapons strong but armor light.
This glassy cannon cannot shield
but waits, and snipes, to end the fight.

Because I could not stop for Death,
he kindly stopped for me.
His Rifleman belched flaming breath
from autocannons three.

In 60 tons did PGI
an armless Dragon-build decree.
2 ERL, a Gauss, up high,
Gauss ammo, heatsinks, armor. Why?
The hardpoints. Lore, you see.

(ABAAB, yes, but I didn't have a choice, it demanded to be written).

[Windscape]

Rifleman

With guns so high and mighty
and a nose
its a wonder that almighty PGI
hasn't shown me an angry pose

[InkySquid]

Rifleman

With her guns blazing in the roaring night
See the fleeing enemy scatter
Opposing 'mechs in her sight
Will soon expose their component matter

I am Rifleman

I fall from my dropship onto the ground
The enemy 'Mech moves from the west
I hear my cannons make that dakka sound
My enemy now knows fear; I'm the best.

[Fenrisian Wolf]

So early in the morn

The rifleman is on the hill

Listening, watching and waiting

for the pilot he will kill

[Ace Selin]

My Rifleman of doom is coming for you
But out of the blue comes another mech of a different hue
Boom boom boom my Rifleman will destroy you
The Timberwolf still stands XL near new & all the pilot can say is phew

Bring your weapons to bear on your enemy
Rifleman, RIfleman, So many Guns
Overheating almost instantly
Rifleman, Rifleman, You are so fun!

[Hydrocarbon]

Kuritans are Red

Steiners are Blue

The Rifleman has said

Death upon you!




Since I missed the Haiku thread:

Salute, Rifleman!

Autocannons all ablaze,

Kills clan mechs for days...

[Triptonite]

I've had no work since I've been home
It's all been closed round here
Stacking shelves or crushing mechs
I'll be a bloody volunteer
My brother got his arm shot off
He can't go back and fight
He puts his Rifleman under my command
He says I'll be all right

When first I joined the infantry
The training broke me down
They found the very core of me
And turned my life around
Warhawk or Timberwolf
They're just targets in my sight
You put the Rifleman in my command
You tell me it's all right

Rifleman, Rifleman

It won't come off no matter what I do
rifleman, rifleman It's just a job
You know that isn't true
There's bagging and engaging
And blowing them away
There's dropping them and offing them
But there's a word that we don't say
No-one calls it killing
But it's simple black and white
I've got the rifle in my hand
Just tell me who to fight

Rifleman, rifleman...

When I'm back home on New Avalon
I'm a look-out on patrol
Who's that mech? Watch that hand!
There are things I can't control
All those faces stare at me
Which one do I suspect?
You put the rifle in my hand
What do you expect?
Rifleman, rifleman...

[Another Dem in Blackface]

Oh, the tabletop staple of halcyon days!
For The Wall, my Rifleman, a fundamental brick.
Is the foe in range of my guns and rays?
No hexes here to count, so hand me the damned yard stick.

[KnowMeByTheTrailOfDeath]

Rifleman, Rifleman, where art thou?
I look and I hunt, I hear the pop, pop, pop.
I get shot and shot get shot don't know from where or how.
You snipe me from range until I drop.

[BlackHeroe]

say what the hell
i dont have a shell
its not out on bill
so i wait and chill

[VoodooLou Kerensky]

A Rifleman, A RIFLEMAN, you say?
Did I miss this, No Way!
Rifleman this and Rifleman that
it even has a spinning hat!

[TheDangerBox]

Oh what a pleasant mech

With such large guns

that just scream "what the heck?"

Not nearly enough tons

[O O P S I E]

Bzzz went the Locust vanishing into the night,
Searching for targets to make its next prey,
There stands a Rifleman with AC10's alight,
And behind him the Locust did stay.

Pew-pew went the lasers, their next victim found,
Pew-pew went the lasers, into the legend's back,
The Rifleman shuddered, fizz-pop came the sound,
The legend was beaten and dropped like a sack.

Bzzz went the Locust vanishing into the smoke,
Bzzz went the Locust, little hell's designer,
Chuckling, "The Rifleman's armour is simply a joke",
"And the Locust is definitely much finer!”

[Lord Bazooka]

The Rifleman strides forth
The enemy falls back
The wailing assault morphs
Grey armor to black

The sun rises once more
on the battlefield
The mechanical gore
shows who of them did yield

The Rifleman strides proud
black armor holds strong
Cannon fire sings aloud
The Riflemans song

[DarkEnergyBurn]

Rifleman, oh Rifleman,
With armor so thin,
We shall wreck many a Clan
And raise quite a din.
