long as you dont go too far over 8.0 speed ona rifle non-master marksmen works well with master rifle. i had both at one time and ended up with the belief that master marksmen with master rifle was a waste of skill points.

You can if you find a +5 rifle speed tape.

hmmm let me try another angle... by dumping master marksman how much will that actually affect my master shooting speed wise?

I think if my calculations are correct iteffectively doubles the delay on your specials. Now that might sound like "WHAT THE HELL! NO WAY MAN!" but it's not all that bad..

Lets say your are currently firing your specials at 1sec because of the cap.. but your speed actually calculates at 0.6sec.. after you drop marksman you will be firing that special at 1.2seconds instead.. not all that bad but still a hit. You still fire pretty dang fast, make sure you don't use any really high speed rifles and you will still be cookin' with gas.

Actually here's a site where you can play around with the numbers and see for yourself the difference.

Plucked that one out of another thread.. useful calculator in there

having master Riflman have +90 rifle speed. To max out in Speed u need 100. So ur speed is 90/100 reduced. (10 away from max). With Master MArksman u have a 95/100 speed. U need 5 more. So with out Master Marksman, u save 48 skill points. All u need is + 10 rifle speed, that tape could cost u 4 million, so get them in 4's or 3's.
