I am experiencing that hots like Flushing Shot 2 and Furry Shot 2 acts like cone instead of AoE.

In the rifleman FAQ, it says that AoE is suppose to hit all enemies around your in 64m. but I cant even hit more than two in 5 meters. Any idea why?

same here but I did not try flushing 2 at 5m with short range weapon like spray stick. For me it looks lke more a cone actually

it is a cone, as are all AOE attacks for ranged professions. Combat medics get a globe, and melee'rs (i believe) get a small circle with sweeps.

that description is just inaccurate. AOE means area of effect, and a cone is an area of effect.

It is a CONE effect (pie shaped area) in front of you. Think of AOE more as "ANGLE of effect".
But it does go the full 64m in front of you, just not to the sides or behind you.

AoE = Cone.

I have hit as many as 12 targets using Flurry2 in one shot. Of course your not going to hit many targets at 5m, I've found that to get the greatest effect from an AoE or Cone attack you should be at 45 - 55m.

As alluded to above, the problem is you are mixing terminology. AOE (area of effect) or AE (area effect) describes what the shot does. That is, it hits the initial target plus all targets engaged in combat with you within the area of the effect. Thus, the appropriate question, as has been answered above, is what is the shape of the area that our shots hit.

For all Rifleman AOE shots and almost all other ranged AOE shots, the area affected is a cone centered on a line between the shooter and the target. I believe Pistoleer's Multi Target Pistol Shot is supposed to be able to hit everything within 32m engaged in combat with you, so that would be a ranged AOE shot that does not have a cone effect but circular. For almost all melee AOE attacks, the area affected is circular, not a cone.

Thus, the techincal answer to your question is that both apply.
