4 gauss rifles with 4 shots each and no backup, no speed and somewhat adequate armour. Not even Null-signature system can save it.

Agreed, though this is where the overview comes into play. Apparantly it was never intended to be used in stand-up fights, but rather ambush missions.

"Although the Rifleman III carried an insufficient supply of both armor and ammunition it was perfectly designed for its role—which was to burst from concealment and demolish the nearest enemies with incredible physical and psychological firepower."

Well, except that once again... two tanks could do that just as well, if not better.

If you have the means to obtain a Battlemech and modify it this much, then you have the means to equip a tank lance. maybe even a company if you are not going after high tech Very Happy
