Rifleman Archive

I've noticed that Rifleman lack decent melee range (1m+-) defense. I know that soldiers are trained in hand-to-hand combat. So it would not be too much of a stretch to ask for riflemen to have a hand-to-hand based defense. For example, a rifle strike to the head for a knock down blow. Perhaps a bayonet on our rifles so that they may be used to counter close in fighting? Perhaps a lunge attack utilizing said bayonet?

Just some ideas. Opinions?

anything thats melee will die from kiting so why bother with that...id rather have surprise shot useful that that....
