	The [[Auto Cannon]] is the most versatile of the heavy weapons. Relatively light, with a large magazine and a choice of ammo, it also has auto shot capability, meaning it can be reliably used while clearing out UFOs. When using HE, an auto shot can clear a whole field, revealing the alien scum as they cower. When using [[Incendiary]], an auto shot can light up half the battlefield if in a night mission, or quickly burn away any cover, as well as setting fire to enemies. It causes slightly less damage than the Heavy Cannon, but has more than twice the magazine capacity and can fire three times as fast. Truly, a mighty weapon with which to smite the enemy.

Seb76: /* Heavy Laser */ Seriously guys, I need some feedback to finalize this one. Don't tell me you want to keep the default heavy laser as-is ;-)

	The [[Laser Rifle]] deals out twice the damage of the normal rifle, at a decreased TU cost. It hits hard enough to be useful against pretty much every enemy in the game, and it’s unlimited magazine eliminates ammo problems. ~~Perfect for storming~~ UFOs, ~~where lots of firepower~~ is ~~usually required, and with no reloads necessary, you can fire and manoeuvre much more easily~~.		The [[Laser Rifle]] deals out twice the damage of the normal rifle, at a decreased TU cost. It also serves as a decent sniper weapon on account of the massively decrease TU cost compared with that of the conventional rifle; a stationary sniper can put out 2 aimed shots. It hits hard enough to be useful against pretty much every enemy in the game, and it’s unlimited magazine eliminates ammo problems. In a pinch it can be used to storm UFOs, although the Laser Pistol is generally better-suited for this role.

	The [[Rifle]] is the default main weapon for any X-Com trooper. It offers auto shots (for close encounters) and accurate single shots (for sniping). All good capitalists know their rifle is more than enough to cope with Sectoids and Floaters. Make sure to carry at least one spare magazine, as auto shots eat up ammo. Again, do not underestimate its power, concerted fire from supporting units can take down fearsome enemies such as the Chryssalid with a little effort. A versatile weapon that can be used by snipers to pick off targets from a good vantage point, like at Stalingrad, or to storm the enemy and crush them under a hail of bullets. Like at Stalingrad.
