Trivia

 * This gun is a reference to A Christmas Story. The main protagonist, Ralphie, continually tells everyone that he wants a Red Ryder BB Gun, to which everyone (including Santa) responds, "You'll shoot your eye out."
 * The red text, and that this weapon can only be acquired right before going after the Rakk Hive. The red text is a hint to shoot it in the eyes to cause critical hit damage.
 * The Rider's semi-automatic action, combined with its medium magazine size and somewhat similar appearance make it similar to the M14, which has restarted service as a marksman rifle not unlike this weapon.
