Someone asked if it would be possible to have a micro camera mounted onto a
gun, connected to a smartgun link, thereby allowing the person to fire the
gun around corners, behind his back, etc. My ideas are:

The camera would probably cost as much as a cybereye camera, with no
significant weight (maybe .25 or so).

The smartgun link would have to modified for more sophisticated wiring, so
double the cost and add .05 to the essence cost, making it .3 instead of .25

The character would have to have at least one eye modified to be able to be
switched between normal sight and the camera view. Not sure what price or
essence cost would be on that one.

Firing the weapon while using the camera view would be at a penalty to hit,
probably +2 or so, due to the one-dimensional view the camera would give you.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Hope this helps.
