Recognition notes
The RFL-7G rebuilds the Rifleman as a 60-ton sniper, ten tons heavier than the 2504-era RFL-1N brawler and fighting at a longer stand-off band instead of close in. Where the RFL-1N carries a Large Laser and Medium Laser in each arm, the RFL-7G mounts a Silver Bullet Gauss Rifle in each arm and moves an ER Medium Laser into each torso. A 240 XL fusion engine holds cruising speed at 43 km/h and top speed near 65 despite the added mass, and endo steel structure replaces the standard frame while standard armor replaces the RFL-1N's primitive plating. Ten double heat sinks stand in for the original's twelve single sinks. The type keeps its anti-aircraft fire control, fixed searchlight, and enhanced communications gear, and Kallon Weapon Industries builds it at Nanking.
