Is alright 
- but it is good to know what other professions have. I heartly recommend at least reading the FAQs of all the other profession (may take a few days) but you will be surprised what you learn.

As a rifleman, i think we have1 posture up attacks. And a 'flush from cover' attack. I think at Master we have 3 area attacks. (not counting PBA)
Heres my gripe, Why do we not have SupressiveFire2??? As a rifleman, (not sniper), it is our duty to provide long range fire support. Now, being in the Infantry, Supressive fire is like one of our biggest things. i realize this is not RL, but I can still make an argument for a /supressfire2.... If i'm supporting my group (postCurb) i should be able to us a /supressfire2 attack to posture down groups of meleers of the oposing side. It should not be a highdamage attack, but sending a charging(group of)NPC/PC(s) to kneeling is very important when you have no melee defense.
(forgive me if this has been covered. i scanned the FAQ's and saw nothing. /dawnflameproofblanket)
(ok, for the second edit: lol, supressive fire is a marksman skill, but i believe Rifleman should still have a /supress2 ability. we are the big guns, we should be able to SUPRESS our enemies.)

actually the carbineers get this skill - if you want it go carbineer. It is not in the devs current perview that rifleman are the supressing types (so the only one we get is supression 1 - marksmen - just like pistoleers can)
Carbine Counterinsurgency
BurstShot1 - Single Target - Random Pool damage. Medium damage with medium speed. Relatively low HAM Cost make this Special a popular choice for the unbuffed Carbineer.
BurstShot2 - Cone Effect/Multi-Target - Random Pool damage and the chance to hit all targets already in Combat within the Cone. Highest damage Cone Effect/Multi-Target Special.
SuppressionFire2 - Single Target - Random Pool damage with a chance to Posture Down.
