Against a force with matching tech, the emitting would be a concern, I grant you. But being able to have everyone in the squad tag their targets, then use the gun system to drop every single target at the same instant would seem to be of some value. Since the gun doesn't fire when you squeeze the trigger but only once the aiming pip crosses the pre-saved tag point, the system seems likely to reduce problems with breath control and flinching in advance of recoil.

BTW, this video is a blogger's report on actually firing the weapon.

The blogger claims to be a novice shooter. He not only hits range targets at 200 yards, but also hits pop-up targets on a course while being driven at speed (20 mph maybe?) in a dune buggy and even while leaning out of a helicopter.
