How can GTA's shooting mechanics be improved?

I havent had a chance to play GTA 5 yet, but I've read a lot about it and one of the biggest criticsms i keep seeing is that the shooting mechanics in the game are pretty bad compared to other 3rd person games.  

So those of you who are dissapointed by this aspect of the game....how would you improve on it?

Disabling or changing, or giving the user the ability to change the aiming acceleration.  It goes from slow to fast way to quick and almost makes it feel like their is a delay.

It's better than in the predecessors imo, much like Max Payne's real-time combat.

Give the weapons more weight and much punchier. Improve the sound effects. Make it so that enemies take more than 2 shots to kill. Design a cursor you can actually see, not just a tiny white dot. Add in an arc thing for grenades so you can see where you're throwing them. biggest_loser

You can change the cursor from simple to complex in the menu.

The biggest issue with the shooting is that it feels like it was designed from a mouse and keyboard. GTA's shooting is still not optimized for thumb stick and triggers. Weapons don't have enough weight and the cursor scrolls across the screen, which would be great for a mouse but with a controller

I really like the shooting mechanics, kind of reminds me of red dead redemeption.
