Are you trying to tell us that they _never_ miss? Granted a propperly
tweaked smatrgun rig controling a gun on full auto can walk the fire around
your team-mates to hit the "bad guys," but what about when you miss the
"bad guys?" Isn't there a possibility that the extra bullets that were
supposed to miss your friends were off the mark as well and therefore
hitting unanticipated targets?

The smartlink is a admerable piece of technology, but it is not perfect.
