Granadosource's take:
Aiming shot is a the rifle's Standing Shot counterpart for pistols. Aiming shot, as its name suggests, allows the user to be able to inflict more damage with a decent critical hit rate to boot. Since pistol pulls accuracy down, Aiming shot compensates it with its extra +25 Accuracy at max stance level. Compared to Freestyle stance, Aiming shot boast of the extra critical hit rate sacrificing a little attack speed and the ability to evade attacks. It is also possible to OHKO (one hit KO) targets in this stance).
PvE-wise, Aiming shot doesn't really have a hugh difference compared to Freestyle shot but since the extra fire power from more accuracy bonus, it allows you to AFK train better. Its skills are geared towards a single target dealing a comparable amount of damage but the only downside is that it lacks the ability to knockback targets. Serpent Sting is very efficient in inflicting Poison Status to any target, this extends Aiming Shot's usefulness in PvP. Double Firing is a good damage dealer and it is spammable as well. Snap Shot isn't really a good AoE but it is enough for you to clear little number of mobs before they accumulate. Zero-In is just a perfect finisher as it allows you to further increase your damage to 1,500% at skill level 10.
