Steadying
Assault rifles, carbines and sniper rifles have an extra action available: Steady Weapon. This is a standard action, which will end the turn when used, which grants +20 aim for shots taken with the weapon next turn. The bonus is discarded if the soldier moves or switches weapon. This essentially allows a soldier to fire a carefully aimed shot over two turns, though the use of perks such as Light 'Em Up and Double Tap mean the bonus can be put to use twice. Note that sniper rifles can be steadied after moving.
