I just had a thought! They'd look more like targetting lasers if the
weaponry looked more recognisably like a gun!

See, they remind me of the targetting lasers on the shotgun in Quake 3, but
on that it's obviously a targetting laser because we all know what a shotgun
looks like and how it fires and can see the laser isn't coming from the
barrels!

Just a thought.
