Yes, they do have a bonus to hit based on PP, but all other bonuses to hit from WP are cancelled, but the bonus ONLY works with the SPECIFIC weapon in question. But, this is a "called" shot, and costs two actions. Only "aimed" shots are eligible. They also have a bonus to initiative for quickdraw with their "special" weapon.
However, I have not been able to a Shrpshooter skill in HU (2nd Ed, or GMG).

What is confusing me, is at the end it says see the W.P. Sharpshooter Speciality skill description for full details.
I cannot find this anywhere in the book. The only place it talks about Sharpshooter is on page 133.
That's what happens when you copy and paste something from another book without editing it for context.
In HU it would appear that W.P. Sharpshooter only provides the trick shots, and none of the other bonuses of the Rifts version, but you could always use the Rifts version if you prefer.
There you go man, keep as cool as you can.
