You can use just 1 weapon once youve got the skills, but in order to grind BH you gotta get XP with all 3 weapons. Once your template is complete say you were MBH , MRifles, you can only use rifles if you like.

At the moment I think of going Master Rifle and MBH and CM 4000. What you think of this?
Anyone know about my other question about untraining, what happens to the XP?

Gah! Of course you must use pistols/carbines/rifles. Very important to know, Riflman is great, but not to great when your dealing with the rest of the outfit. Master Carbine gives you both points for rifle and carbine.
Meh Im BH/Doctor - why you ask? You get good buffs, and not to mention get to use good weapons equals Half/Half unstoppable I would say.

In reply to this question, when you "untrain" a skill, you loose the xp you used to gain that box, and xp you had left over will still be available.
e.g Rifles 1 costs 150k of xp, you have 180k saved up, so you train the skill. After you've trained you have 30k of xp left, that will remain if you drop the box, you will not go back to 180k.

Hello fellow BHs.
I just started playing the game and I am aiming for becomming a BH.
I have looked some in the skill tree and I see that there are3 different weapon branches in the BH tree. One for pistols, one for carbines and one for Rifles, correct me if I am wrong.
Right now I play with a rifle and I have up to the fourth skill in rifle on the marksman skill tree. So what I am wondering is, do you switch weapons/have to for using different skills in the BH tree? or can you use a rifle for all of them?
Is a BH with a rifle any good? 
or should I train my carbine/Pistol skillsinstead?
or should I train my carbine/Pistol skillsinstead?When "untraining" a skill, I get the credits back, but what happens to the XP I have have put into that skill? Would I get back my rifle XP if I untrained those skills? So I could use it l8er in the BH tree?
Thats all for now.

You have to use all (Pistols, rifles and carbines). A lot of the pro BH use a variety of weapons too. Rifle is range / power, pistols speed and carbines are somewhere in between.
Its debatable which one is best as they both have their good and bad points.

Range, damage and speed vary by weapon type.
Pistol: 35m range, Speed 1.8-2.0 unsliced, damage 980.
Carbine: 55m Range, Speed 2.2-2.5 unsliced, damage 1080.
Rifle: 65m Range, Speed 2.6-2.9 unsliced, damage 1180.

you don't have to switch weapons for useing the skills but you'll need rifle,pistol, and carbine xp to gain the skills after that use what what ever weapon you enjoy most. as others have stated pistols=speed, rifles = damage, and carbines are in the middle of the road.
