## Description of the bug
Sniper's Aimed-Shots cannot be used through transparent smoke, even though the transparent smoke doesn't block LOS.

## What's the difference with what should have happened?
Transparent smoke is, well, transparent. They should be able to allow light/lasers (aimed-shot) through because they're transparent, and the player can see through them/still has LoS.

## How do we reproduce this bug?
1) Grab a AMR/Basic sniper kit, get the respective sniper.
2) Spray a smoke-tank flamer (any chemical/reagent works fine in the smoke tank)
3) Try to aimed-shot through the smoke (target a mob on the other side of the smoke with the sniper)
4) Can't aim-shot for some reason, even though they're "Transparent" and doesnt block LoS at all technically.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with an AMR or basic sniper kit and a smoke-tank flamer, targeting a mob through transparent smoke. Read the aimed-shot and transparent-smoke handling reached from that reproduction; done means aimed shots work through transparent smoke while its line of sight remains unobstructed.
