It's clear that first edition smartguns are a lot more than dots
kept on the target; see the bit about walking fire past friends and
not firing those bullets. My belief is that it's a 'deep' link between
the user and the gun; the gun shoots (at) whoever the user wants it to,
and not at other people, and the two cooperate to get the gun pointed
right to do this.
