The reason you do not get benefits for using two Laser/Smartlinked
weapons is IMHO that you can not focus on two places at once. A Piont
of Aim indicator is of no or little use when you can't foucs on it. I
have considered giving the modifiers if you are using both guns at one
target, but not othervice. A enchanephalon would be of little help as
your eyes still cant focus on more than one thing even though your
brain migth cope. (geting a third eye migth help:)

As for bow the entire idea of a smartlinked bow aperas redicolus to
me. Without a rangefinder it would be unable to calculat balisitc
paths, and it would not be able to calculate how the arrow is placed,
the wind, the realease or all those things that shold be important to
the accurasy of a bow. Sigths on any bows except maybe x-bows should
thus be regardes as imposible. the most usefull Bow accesory would be
a rangefinder, but a Smartlink would do more harm than good in
providing a indicated point of impact meters away from where the arrow
is going to hit.
