What can you do while using Tac-Stance in Modern Warfare 3?

In Call of Duty's official blog, Activision has explained why this new feature might change the usual gunplay in the franchise forever. Players would hold the weapons in a canted position while firing, and they would be able to toggle in and out of it while ADSing.

Although the mechanism is not exactly for precision, it massively increases mobility and weapon handling. Hence, if you are in a close-range gunfight or if someone is camping around the corner, it would be easier for you to take your opponent out by surprise. Furthermore, you can also fire in this mode while sliding.
