How does it allow you to "see"? I don't think a smartgun link provides optical
sensory info, does it? Basically it just puts a dot or crosshair in your line of
sight based on where it is pointed, right? And since your line of sight does not
extend behind you (or around a corner per your example), I don't think it would help.
