Every class needs something unique about it. Snipershot is unique to Rifleman. Powerboost is unique to TKA. Dual wield will be unique to Pistoleer and Fencer. Pikeman suxxors!
But anyway, if Pistoleers get a snipershot, then Rifleman shouldget a melee KD attack 
I dont think that giving ranged KD to all ranged classes is a solution. There's good reason that you have to stand next to a guy to DB him and there's also good reason that Riflemen are exempt of this limitation.
Imagine everyone having ranged DB 
Everyone would spam this one special over and over ^^
Riflemen should be the only ones with ranged DB, but it should be on a 30-60 sec timer.

unfortunately it seems that speed , power and accuracy are also unique to rifleman , ya greedy baz nitches
i think it would be better for us to have an answer to Conceal Shot.
sniper shot isn't really useful - its a ranged DB instead of opening the radial menu and doing it...

I don't think we need an 'answer' to anything.
Riflemen have 2 'unique' specials: Sniper Shot and Conceal Shot. So I vow for fixing the two Pistoleer 'unique' specials: MultiTarget and Disarming Shot. One, if done right, is an uber AE move while the other one could possibly 'disarm' your target (that is, if it's going to live up to its description after the fix). IMO, those are way cooler than anything Riflemen have

Someone on the GCW Fourms made a suggestion to have ALL Marksman Elite Classes have some sort of a Death Blow special like the Rifleman's Sniper Shot.
Slienced Shot would be the answer for the Pistoleers, to replace an obsolete Special.
Like Rifleman, it kills any incapped player. Unlike Rifleman, you have to do it within the 64m range most Pistols have. It would be avaliavle with Pistol Marksmanship 4 (Like Rifleman with Sniping 4)
Ah -uhm sniper shot is also only 64m range - all ranged weapons max at 64m (excepting some Combat medic items)
This along with the Carbineer counterpart could be a step into balancing all three of the Marksan Elite Classes. Besides, why the hell do I have to run up to a incapped player and DB him right there, rather than just taking a shot at the guy. The current DBshould go to the meleers.

i agree, MKA, but i'm skeptical as to whether disarmingshot will really be that 'unique': even by our standards it should just be a health/stun or health/intimidate. sniper and conceal shot are completely different from anything else in the game.
multitarget has potential, but it is so broken it is likely to be deleted and replaced.
Well I hope not 
We should get together with RandonB about this issue. Givf unique specials
