So why was the QKD-4G considered a replacement for the RLF-3N? The Rifleman is also renowned as an anti-aircraft platform thanks to its famous Garret D2J targeting system the Quickdraw, by contrast, uses a Dynatec targeting computer. The Quickdraw’s initial production model, the QKD-4G, carried a single LRM-10, giving it less than half of the RFL-3N’s firepower beyond the traditional short range brackets.
The RFL-3N, the Rifleman’s standard model of the day, is optimized for long range combat with paired light autocannons and large lasers. We are told that the Quickdraw was designed as a replacement for the Rifleman, a claim which at first glance makes little sense. This in turn suggests that the Quickdraw was the product of a joint venture between the two corporations. Its exact provenance is actually unknown for certain, but by implication the current manufacturers of the QKD-series – Technicron Manufacturing of Savannah and Luthien Armor Works – were the most likely original manufacturers from the Late Star League era.

The Quickdraw first entered service in 2779, and was initially fielded by both the Free Worlds League and the Draconis Combine. That being said, when employed properly – like most such “lemons” – the Quickdraw is capable of contributing significantly to a battle. It is rarely considered a true stinker like the CGR-1A1 Charger it does however suffer from trying to do too much with too little.
The QKD-series BattleMech, more commonly known as the Quickdraw, is not in my experience a very popular BattleMech.
