not here to flame or yell NERF. However in a nice PvP battle theis evening i experienced somethingthat just made me think WOW this is amazing. I am master sharpshooter/marksman/scout. I have no complaints about CM's they are good if they get a disease or poison on your mind its over for the rifleman 
What happened though was I got hit by mind poison from 80m out 15m outside of my rifle range. This kept occuring and I couldnt even target the individual they obviously knew about this excellent advantage as they never stepped inside 80m nearly destroyed an entire group without being touched. Is this the norm for CM's?if it is WOW! what a huge advantage.

It's not normal. Only Master CMs that have made exceptional poisons with exceptional range can do this.

For a master CM the distance thrown is (2 * Range) of the crafted poison. Withoutstanding resources a Master CM can craft a 32-33 range area poison yielding a 64-66m throw range.
Area poison affects everything within a given radius, and with excellent resources crafted by a master, a 31m radius is possible. Therefore if you are within 31 mof a teammate who is attacked by a CM with this type of poison, you will be hit.
The person that hit you from 80m did not throw the poison at you, he targeteda person in front of you. You were within the blast radius.

yes you must take into account the AoE of an Area of Effect weapon. (the throw + the AoE) = total range.
also i would suggest running that 15m gap@ burstrun and then tumble to prone to get your best accuracybecause when the combat medic is throwing the poison or disease they are unable to move anywhere during the entire throw animation. unless he or she has taken up the last of their skillpoints learning the full depths of a ranged weapon with good defences, he or she will have NO defences at all, so you will pick that person off with a quickness.
just a suggestion.

Just remember that it will probablly take you a couple of months to save up the resources neccessary to make some decent poisons/disesae. So I would start harvesting ASAP.
