It seems like it would be easy to fool the system with decoy gunshots.
Wish I could find a reference to the show on discovery.com. They seem to have taken it down. I'm sure someone else will remember the show. It was amazing . . . Every bullet's path traced out in a different color as the machine gun was being fired. My impression was that soldiers in the field would someday be able to wear these things on their helmets, kind of a heads-up display showing where enemy fire was coming from.
