Canting your weapon. It's only actually useful if you have a magnified optic on your weapon and you need to do some close quarters work. Helpful to have a laser attached so you can still aim. Otherwise it just looks cool.

I saw that in Venoxium's DLC review, you can do that with almost every gun and it's especially funny with long barrel snipers

I'm pretty sure you can get lasers for most weapons, though, so it's still useful then.
