I'd
much rather give some kind of needle-like ability to a normal weapon.
Why not a special targeting system that allows a beam to target as a
needle
beam at half the normal range of the beam with limit of two beams per
targeting system. The system can be used a normal sensor, has the same
mass
and twice the cost?
