Could you do this? Yes, but you would have to do some rather extensive work
writing unique spells to do it.

First you would have to create a unique detect enemies spell that works only in
an arc instead of 360 degrees.

Then you would have to know either Magic Fingers or Use Firearms.

Then you anchor and link them onto the prepared firearm.

Now you have a very inaccurate gun (nobody is conciously using it) that will
shoot you or a friend if they get in the way, and waste all its ammo firing
at walls that your "enemies" are behind.

Don't waste your time with this, get a smartlink.
