I just noticed, after all this time of froicking in internet forums, that people almost always call me "Magma" from the very beginning.

Its like a quirk in human behavior to always call me Magma instead of Magmacube.

... some game should make a homing upgrade for their weapons, where it's incredibly good -- it homes very strongly, makes it so projectiles no longer stop, bounce off walls, etc. Basically make it so no shot will ever go to waste, full on perfect efficiency.

But. Once you fire a shot, it will hit something, and if it can't find an enemy soon enough, that "something" will be you. Your bullets become very good at what they do, but, uh. Don't let them get bored :V

Not quite that, but the saw gun in Nuclear Throne is a very double-edged sword. Projectiles which pierce through enemies, bounce off walls once, AND hurt you. You can make them homing but they only home on enemies.

However, what you described does seem like it would lead to some odd gameplay: basically you have to memorize how many shots each enemy can take and then spam click just enough to eliminate every enemy present without going over.

There was a game with a "homing" gun, essentially when you pulled the trigger the game would aimbot you at the nearest enemy so you'd hit them.  Problem was, what enemy was closest was measured absolute.  So I'd try to shoot the guy in front of me, but there's a guy "closer" who's directly above me on the next floor.  My camera jerks to the bloody ceiling and shoots up.

Deep Rock Galactic's smart gun used a smart lock-on system to shoot the exact number of shots to kill things.  Bullets would follow a curve from the barrel to target, so the real skill was in using this to bend around obstacles, or curve over a bug to hit its butt instead of the armored body.

Somehow it's technically a thing in Disgaea 1, obscurely.  The Scout class has a weird ability where they summon an autonomous gun which shoots directly at the nearest enemy for a bit.  After the first turn it fires on the nearest unit, which is likely to be the scout that summoned it.

Also my mind went directly to snarks from Half Life 1, but they're not a gun.  I guess.

In horror movies with ghosts possesing things, they always possess a person or some doll or something. Why? Like, that is so lame.

If I was a ghost, I would possess The Internet.
