[XCom:Enemy Unknown] Why do the soldiers always seem to miss so much?

I understand that there will be those cases from time to time where they somehow miss but it seems to happen a lot more frequently then it should for a group of soldiers hand picked to combat an alien force. Even when they're basically point blank at times they seem to miss which seems harder to do then actually hitting them at that range, what gives?

Miss so much? The whole mission is a quick succession of sprints and firefights against monsters from humanity's worst nightmares, capable of spitting acid, soaking up an ungodly amount of bullets and invading your mind.

Take into account the fact that they spend most of their time using weapons that they are not used to, the enormous pressure they are under, the battle fatigue from months of missions against a seemingly invincible enemy and the fact that the commander will often order them to take shots from hundreds of meters away through two different buildings because that's the only way to keep one of their friend alive, and you'll start wondering how they manage to shoot anything.
