Rifleman Archive

We all know Rifleman is suppose to be a sniper class right? well I think thats bull!

In all honestly the only rifle that would be considered a sniper rifle is the T21
(maybe the Tuskan Rifle also)..if thats so then why does every other rifle have a
negative point blank stat? when you consider real life Assualt rifles they are
just as effective at point blank range (if not more) than Pistols..

So here's my idea...

1. Why not Give other rifles (such as DLT20a, Jawa Ion, E11, Spraystick, and maybe even Laser Rifle)Positive Point Blank stats.

2. Keep the T21s point blank the same and only apply the 2.5 melee damage when we have T21 isequiped (since the T21 is the only real sniper rifle)

Basicly I think Rifleman shouldnt be Sniper Class but rather a Assualt/Spec Op type class thats a little more versitile....We should be able to adept to the situation and not be acceptible to the same weaknesses with every weapon we use..

am I alone here? (-__-)

Rifleman should be your basic Infantryman. A helmet, body armor, a few grenades and a solid rifle. In fact, the most basic infantryman is called a rifleman.

Infantry is the mainstay in ground combat. Cover is the key to a succesful rifleman.

- Keep your helmet on. (watch the Saving Private Ryan beach scene.)

- Keep in cover.

- Fire and Displace.

Special ops are very specialized people. They would be a combo of brawler, marksman, commando, scout, in SWG terms.
