] I agree with Mongoose... A smartgun adapted gun almost HAS to
]have some sort of imaging system, and hence a camera of some sort. If
]a smartgun only projected a DOT onto the target, it would be no better
]than a fraggin laser sight, 'cept it would cost more and you would lose
]essence for it. Having some form of camera/imaging device would be the
]only reason you would need wires running into your nervous system/up to
]your goggles. That's also the only way you could really avoid shooting
]your friends.

cleaning out my mailbox, I'll take this one too. . .
As per Tom Dowd, a smartlink's imaging capabilities put a dot on your
retina (or if goggles, a dot on your goggles) where the gun is aimed. Any
questions of whether the gun is moved to bear on your target are now moot in
SRII, as the offending sentence has been officially struck out. As such, you
cannot see around walls with a smartgun link.]<<<<<

shielded
optical fiber down your sleeve, and rig it to a HUD system (which can be found
in the book) or to a display link.]<<<<<
