}Hmm.. I thought a smart gun was mainly just a target overlaying your

It is an overlay system. We play it that it provides crosshairs.
As for the idea about poking it around corners, in our system, what
my character is doing in connecting the ultrasound he has to the
smartgun link. It provides the option of poking it around a corner
and firing.
