Weapons that have the Firing Line trait equipped will see an increase in the amount of precision damage they dish out to enemies when two or more friendly players are around them. You could say that the Firing Line perk is the epitome of how a fireteam makes a guardian stronger than they would be by themselves. 

This particular Destiny 2 weapon trait would be excellent on sniper rifles and hand cannons, considering the ability for players to have a much higher chance of landing precision damage hits with these two highly accurate weapon classes. All that you need to make sure is that you are around allies to reap the full benefits of this trait for their battles against the forces of The Darkness.
