No, laser weapons are quality,

Also the big thing is that your assault troops should get whatever the skill is that lets them shoot twice for -20 to aim. Also you want lightning reflexes.

A big part about how to properly use assault troops is being willing to have them turn on run and gun, run up right next to some X-ray in cover dodging reaction shot plasma in the process and blow them to bits before they get another turn.

That is one third of XCOM another third is snipers with “s.c.o.p.es and an effective 115 AIM double tapping anything any of your soldiers can see via squad sight. The last third is the abuse of mental powers against foes in full cover.

That’s been my choices so far for assaults and snipers. I’m researching heavy lasers now hoping to give my heavies a little extra oomph.
