Has anyone tried combining master swordsman with master sharpshooter?

Do the defense attributes, such as knock down resistance, only work when a sword is equipped, or does it work even while a rifle is equipped?

I'm already a master sharpshooter (bria) and was considering going tkm. But I realized there are a ton of tkms and that tkm/sharpshooter is a pretty common combination, so I wanted to try something more unique. I noticed swordman has about the same knockdown resists as tkm, but tkm has the defense accutity or whatever...dunno exactly how much of a difference that makes. However, the mind hits of swordsman intrigued me, so what do you fellow rifleman have to say about the swordsman/sharpshooter combo?

tkm has wayy more defense than swordsman. swordsman have counterattack, a better mind hit, and 2 mind bleeds that stack with rifleman, and yes the defenses stack

Fencer is better than TKA in my opion for defense mods, you get 50 for KD defenses and I think you get more melee/ranged defence. BTW the stun baton is another good reason to go the fencer route.
