How do I find the intersection position in the terrain that my weapon is currently facing? That is the centre of the screen when I'm in my primary weapon position?

I would usually of thought that a getdir would of been suffice, but then again with ArmA's new floating zone features, makes things interesting doesn't it (+ vehicle turrets)
