Hey guys, I was just wondering how you can kill a rifleman from 50m away. Even if you burst at him by the time you get there your mind will probably be long gone. Any tips?

Don't give him a straight shot at you. Use some field tactics or some cover tactics.
Also, have a mind healer/muon/drink in reserve. If he sees your mind is lower he'll get overconfident that he can kill you and won't concentrate on you as hard, so if your mind suddenly jumps back up it might catch him by surprise and give you the edge you need to get to him.
Also, 40% stun helms are nice.
Odds are, though, if you give him free shots at you, you're asking for a beating.

One thing you shouldn't face a rifleman out in the open. If you can't burst run at him and you don't have lunge2 you are pretty much screwed. Get yourself a good stun helmet, and always have powerboost on it's your friend
. When you see a overt player with a jawa out, get yourself in a buldg if you can (this is without using lunge2 or warcry2). I really don't know what else to tell you.

Muon+Brandy+Dancer Buffs+Blue Milk(maybe)+ and stun and an engergy comp helm. That should just about do it.

Duck and cover.
Never let a Rifleman kite you.
Let them come to you.

What to do?
While laying on the ground bleeding from your head, realize that he has a gun and you have a fist, 50m away is not where you want to be. If you are just a TKM and you are 50m away from a rifleman you're in his house, and chances are you're going to die.

How to beat a Rifleman/as a TKA.
Pre-Fight
1. Buy armor preferably with stun layering. Having just a helmet layered is a plus, but then your just asking to be advanced strafed. Ideally get at least a helmet,chest,pants,boots with stun layering. Also purchase a mark III personal shield generator. Those have stun resistance as well and work on top of armor.
2. BE Enhanced Vasarian Brandy is a must. You can take 2 servings on an empty stomach and give yourself a huge mind boost. Coupled with a dancer/musician buffs you'll have a huge amount of mind and secondaries to work with.
3. Muon Gold - Good to use as a sort of emergency mind "stim". Don't use it until you have to.
Fight
1. Close distanceusing burst run. If that is not possible seek shelter or some form of barrier to draw the rifleman closer to you.
2. Warcry. Buy yourself time to perform the following manuevers on your opponent.
2. Use /unarmedstun1 and NOTHING else until you have succesfully stunned the rifleman. The reason for this is due to the current defenses rifleman have.
4. Intimidate. This will further lower a riflemans defenses as well as slightly offset his attacks.
3. Use /unarmedizzy1 till you land a dizzy state.
4. Use /unarmedknockdown2. Try using this a few times. But don't get obsessed with it. Your opponenet may have a high resistance to kd and dizzy.
4. Use /unarmedlunge1 if either following a sucessfull unarmed knockdown, or if knockdown fails. Often posture change moves are less resisted than kd's.
5.Continue toWarcry.
5. Use /unarmedmindhit1 repeatedly while on auto-follow. At this point in the fight you should have little trouble hitting him provided you can stay within range.
6.After about 1 - 2 minutes repeat thecombat sequence as various state effects will begin wearing off.
