No, but if you pick up supression fire from marksman you can force them to a knee. Rifleman was granted the great ability to help our enemies get back up with out specials.

if you picked up suppresion fire though you can knock people down. flurry shot which dizzies and suppression fire which lowers their posture.

posture change != knockdown as they only start doing the flopping fish if they voluntarily change position or are knocked down. Kneeling really does bother most ranged professions (in fact it usually helps them!) . So no we can not knock people down - but we can put them in a position in which they may knock themselves down with posture change.

Its true, there is no direct knockdown, but its still very easy to do.. at least to NPCs. It's just a matter of teaching yourself to predict when the AI wants to change postures. For instance: dizzy a tusken raider, lower their posture with suppression fire. Then run into melee range. They try to stand every time. Silly AI..
Also if you are at long range with an enemy and expect them to retaliate with a ranged weapon, dizzy them with flurryshot while they are still standing. Most NPCs that use ranged weapons voluntarily kneel or go prone to fight back at you... apparently without regard to their dizziness.

It is rather odd seeing as how I believe both pistols and carbs have a kd. /shrug

Or you could go like me: Master Rifleman/Master Fencer/Master Brawler combo. With this you get an UNBELIEVABLE pvp combo with knockdown.

Or not, because he asked Can a Rifleman knockdown people, not a Master Rifleman/Master Fencer/Master Brawler

Not really. It's part of keeping the professions different. We have some abilities that others don't. And they have some that we don't.
We have a ranged DB while they don't. We also have ConcealShot which they don't. While they have KD attacks though I don't believe Pistoleer has a Dizzy attack. Nor can either of them target the Mind pool.

Rifleman can dizzy and posture change down but most groups have a squad leader bot so this is ineffective.
