Research Required	Weapon Fragments

Can be upgraded to give a +10 Critical chance through the Foundry's S.C.O.P.E Upgrade project. The upgrade isn't displayed on the detailed info screen but it's there.
Extends the effective range of Shotgun-wielding soldiers by mitigating the weapon's range penalty.
Confers a significant aim boost when paired with a Light Plasma Rifle (+20 Aim).
- Even a rookie with a Light Plasma Rifle and S.C.O.P.E. will have trouble missing.
Quintessential on Squadsight Snipers (preferably with an advanced weapon). Makes them more lethal at range over other options.

-* S.C.O.P.E.s can be excellent on '''Squad Sight''' [[Sniper (EU2012)|Snipers]].  The aim bonus helps them remain accurate against enemies with defensive bonuses or who are in cover, the additional crit chance makes their shots more lethal, and they should ideally be fighting from out of range of other equipment options.
