There is a lot that goes into determing who wins in fights. But rifleman pretty much sucks in PvP until master when it becomes godly. TK's can make you blind adding to your already inaccuracy, they can intimdate you so you do less damage, they can stun you lowering the few defenses you have, they can dizzy you not letting you burstrun to kite you, and the can add a knock down to that dizzy so you can't get up. You will most likely get owned.

^ ^ What he said. I have a Master Rifleman/TKM and have little trouble with a TKM using a rifle...IF I get the jump on them. The problem is if they get on you or stop your burst with a lunge or a kd. It is just plain ugly when they can get ahold of you. If I have the jump I open with rifle and if somehow they are still standing when they get to 30m, I clear the que and slip knucks on (compensating for the weapons delay) and prepare to fight on their terms. If you don't have a melee prof keep the distance, don't hit a building or rock... just kite like no tomorrow and hope they can't close the gap.
I was goofing around with a guildmate clone camping one another to black bar ourselves to help some entertainers get healing xp... he is a TKM/CH with some fencer defense and toe to toe I can handle him easy enough with using TKM. He got me cornered with a rifle equipped and the damage he can do at that point is flat ugly. To quote Bloodgaze, "You will most likely get owned" if you let them in range and they have half a brain when using a tkm character.

Nahhhh Impossible to say in general who wins.
I was TKA, Rifleman and both at the same time.
It hardly depends on the situation.
From 50m away the tka is dead before realizing to be attacked. On the contray inside a building the rifleman is down before to terget at the TKA and shot the first time.
Just to say that TKA with Lunge2 (master browler special) has the chance to kd the rifleman from 20m. Just remember to enequip the VK!!

He was talking about a novice rifleman. He won't have the accuracy, speed, or damage to drop a TKsuper fast. TheTK would have a pretty good chance to get within that 20m windowusing burstrun and lag.
