...if it happened BEFORE he took the shot instead of after it, and/or the amount of time he spent "aiming" had some relation to the difficulty of the shot. In Fallout Tictacs (and every other pseudo-real-time squad-level wargame I've ever played) it's more like the little guy's just waiting for some arbitrary timer to expire or a little bar to refill.
Not spending time to aim beforehand is forgivable or at least ignorable or something because in FO:Tactics 95% of the time you sneak your squad into firing positions. The first two shots come a little faster because of the AP reserve, which granted is weird but not a huge deal. The time spent waiting for APs to regen could be described as aiming. It's a pretty rough system (I believe the devs admitted it was shoehorned in late in development) but it works OK.
In X:COM apoc I am pretty sure they do take varying amounts of time to aim (before shooting) depending on what firing mode you have selected.
