I wanted to test this but was unable to before the date of this duel arrived.
For non masters what would be the best rifle to use? Currently working on the concealment line so i have as much speed as i can get until master.
A speed sliced T 21 say 5.1 speed? about 401 max damage
A speed sliced acid rifle (you know the dxr whatever one) 4.8 speed 330 ish damage
Or a damaged sliced 4.1 speed E11 255 max damage
I will find out tonight im sorta leaning to the E11 just because its the fastest.

depends on what you're dueling. T21s are great for pure power, but they can miss. DXR6Bs are awesome at range coz of the accuracy mods.

Im in so much trouble lol i just found out that due to poor turn out from ranged professions. I will be dueling two pistol users and probably three melee. And i can't run over a certain distance 
Oh well. Its all in fun. Might just use the e11 and a spraystick.

If i was dueling vs. pistols and melee stacker types i'd use the DXR6b... doing many weaker hits is better than missing all night with the T21.

there is no AP consideration when there is no armor. you are best off with a damage sliced laser I would believe. you can get a damge sliced, powered up laser to 800 damage.

The damage range on a laser is very high, with mins below 100 often before slice, even if the max is quite high. A krayt dxr6 with nice range mods and high min damage would be the best gun in my opinion, but I honestly think there'd be no point to showing up for a duel contest with a rifle if you can't kite. Even a rifle/doc template would spend their entire time healing and getting up from dizzy/kd...

If you can get a Berserker I'd go with that, I think the range mod at 0m is only like -20 if I recall correctly, someone correct me if I'm wrong. Also remember you can KD/Dizzy, Flushing2+Flurry2 then SurpessionFire1 if you have ranged support, but its not a very good posture change. Just pray you don't go against any Carbineer/BH templates.

if you can't run over a certain distance, tell them they can't use posture changes or knockdowns.
this is a ranged profession, to ask you not to go out to RANGE is asking you to limit your effectiveness. fair play would be for them to sacrifice one of their strongpoints as well.
don't sweat the pistoleers. and don't use the spraystick if you really wanna compete

Honestly, that's just silly. Tell meleers to not knock you down, intimidate you, or blind you andthen you won't kite. The best PVP'er I know was able to win with just about any prof combination he chose. I watched him win a duel tourney a few months back with nothing but a krayt T21. He kited, it was boring to watch, but he won. If they don't want to see kiting, then they should just ban riflemen from the tourney cause that's how we win. Rifles are not meant to go toe to toe, meleers should and do pummel us atclose range.
