Actually, what you describe above is the theory I use myself, at least
in part.
One hole I've found in the "no trigger jerk" theory is the Smartlink
Integration Kit in Rigger2, available for turret mounted and fixed
firm/hardpoint mounted smartgun equiped weapons. These weapons aren't
hand held, trigger jerk shoudn't be a factor. Despite that, the -2
bonus for smartlink is maintained.
