Is the Smile Shot thing really necessary? Couldn't they have just put a trigger? It is really funny how you can take out all your enemies just by smiling, though.
I love how they say the LOHAS thing only hits the target "from time to time".

I was referring to the tendency of movie mechs being designed in such a way that you can beat them by having them trip on a rope.

Hey, if you fire enough bullets, one of them is bound to hit the target.

There are weirder control systems out there. Valve experimented with tongue control for example.

The problem with the smile trigger is that I couldn't stop grinning once I start shooting.
