At ease, people. I use a baseline attack macro because of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. 30 minutes of manual PvE and I lose feeling in my fingers.
Baseline attack macros are essentially macros that fire your basic shot of choice at its specific delay. Meaning, if you can fire at once every 1.5 seconds, you put a 1.5 second pause between cycles. The idea is to keep a special going, so you can focus on position, support (stims, food, etc) and strategic shots (chargeshots, actionshots, etc). You keep the delay matched to your current skill and weapon stat average so your combat que is constantly clear, allowing you to mix in other functions as needed.
What it comes down to is the computer plays the rhythm, you provide the harmony.
My shot macros are basically, CripplingShot, ScatterShot2, FullAutoArea2, FullAutoSingle2 at the current rate of fire I can maintain (speed capped, because of my template). I have ChargeShot2 and FireKD (BH Dizzy/KD special) as single command keys and a dump macro handy for a quick clear to change macros when circumstances dictate.
For the rest of you, never assume a man who uses a macro isn't thinking. He may have more than one of them for different situations.

I have found that remapping the Keypad Enter Key to clear the Combat Queue works great.....easiest click to a key not used on the keyboard 
And honestly, 99.9% of people asking for a macro for any combat prof is just looking to AFK grind.....and something that the Devs are clearly against.

You need to make your gaming environment more ergonomically sound. With the proper setup, you should not be experiencing problems...

Even more basic than the rules about AFK play, the bottom line is you CANNOT play ANY ranged profession AFK, unless your idea of a challenge is meatlumps. Even with Rifleman and Pistoleer, there's just too much you have to watch to let the computer play it for you.

I fell for this guy. Here is my advice:
If you want to Macro become a musician or a dancer.
If you want to do combat, then follow the advise of others.
Step 1 - GET MONEY (Delivery Missions can pay 600 a pop and you can 2 at a time)
Step 2 - GET THE BASIC GUNS (CDEF Carb, Snub Nose, Laser Carb
Step 3 - GET BUFFS
Step 4 - Walk outside any starter city and blast the Butterflies, warts, meatlumps for 1.5 hours and you can master Carbine 1-4.
A far as a macro
just use MACRO
/overchargeshot1
macro
I hope that is what you are looking for.
OOOH and this post puts me over 400!

congrats on the 400.
It doesn't matter really what level your skills are, leveling is the same. Get buffed, go to dant, kill quenkers. After one you have level 1, one more you have 2. at lvl 3 i think you get the laser, which you prob will use for more of the rest of your life.
Not hard, not really taking either.

Once I got to the 3rd box in the Marksman tree, I AFK'd Meatlumps and Ragtags through part of Novice Carbineer, while sleeping or working. The macro that I used was something like this:
Name this macro “AFKLoot”
/ui action targetSelf;
/ui action cycleTargetOutward;
/attack;
/pause2;
/lootall;
/macro AFKLoot;
/ui action cycleTargetOutward;
/attack;
/pause2;
/lootall;
/macro AFKLoot;
Once you get Novice Carbineer, it's all manual operation.
