The Rifleman Kneecap Shot is a snare.
But i really dont see how im supposed to get anything good out of it... It does not seem to slow my opponents speed enough to have any impact.

My friend is a Master Smugler and I noticed that to, but those extra skill points kill.
Not sure if this will work from one character applying both snares (Rifles + Carbines for example) but it should.
One snare by itself is fairly useless and the Rifleman's one seems to most useless by itself of the ones I've seen. I only bother to apply it if someone else in my group has a snare to stack with mine, then I use it a lot.

Snares also stack together from multiple professions. Kneecap Shot plus Jedi's Force Wave will slow opponents to the speed of a leisurely stroll.

It doesn't work directly (using the same rifle with both snares) but I hope to test using 2 different rifles to place the snares.. Previously Commandos could lay multiple flame dots as long as they used different weapons. I wonder if that is true of Rifles and snares.

Didn't think to try with another weapon (only had a pistol on me) but will give that a shot.
Carbineer's Suppression Fire will work alongside Kneecap from what I observed, with the same weapon. But Suppression Fire already slows things down so much that if Kneecap Shot was doing anything, I couldn't tell.
