Sorry guys, but I just feel that the post I made in the Holocron's Surprise Shot thread was going to get ignored. Soo I felt it needed to have its own thread. Soo.. Let me repeat what i stated in that thread here...

Today Aug. 22, 2003 I tested surprise shot with a cdef rifle. I am a Master rifleman on the starsider server. If you equip a rifle and try to spam /surpriseshot you will get the message "This attack cannot be done with this weapon!". What most people think as a successful shot/use of this special is just seeing thier next normal shot fire off. If you SPAM /surpriseshot faster than you can fire you will keep get this message and no shots will be fired. If you equip a CARBINE and use this shot you will get the message "You use Wide Wild Shot on a XXX for XX points of damage!".

So in short you must have a CARBINE equiped in order to use the rifleman's suprise shot special sucessfully.

I have tested this and its true =(

FIX IT PLEASE

Not only does it only work only for carbine you dont need to be under cover to use it atm....

Bump in order to get this fixed!

Has anyone tested this on the test center? Maybe they delayed it until the big patch.

The shot actually fired from Surprise Shot is Wide Wild Shot (Wildshot2 I believe from the Carbineer tree), of course only working with a Carbine equipped. Someone typed in the wrongnumbers when they "fixed" it.. they gave us the skill in the third level of the first column of the carbineer tree.
