Actually, I don't see why the induction pad/wiring and the smartgun
circuitry in the head wouldn't/couldn't be separate parts, and I
certainly see no reason that they could be installed to work in either
arm/eye. As for a second crosshair/dot, it would be distracting, and
probably nigh on impossible to keep track of unless they were different
colors. Even then, you wouldn't be able to target two people/things at
once, you simply cannot focus your eyes on two separate objects at one
time.
