on a humanoids body. The attacker can act accordingly, striking according to
his needs, either to disable of kill, or maim.

This should add to the skill, not to the power of the weapon. The whole
ppoint behind targeting someone in a firefight is to take them down. This
accessory would simulate someone having a better skill at doing that
because he knows where to shoot. This would do nothing for the bullets
speed and power, however.

Also the price is REAL cheap.
