The system might be extremely disorienting and annoying. What you might want to do is make you view interpolated so it rotates at a fixed maximum rate if you want to simulate anything of this sort. You can try some hackery on the aiming vector and have your mouse control that, while your view lags behind it quite a bit, and basically you'd be moving the crosshair around... it'd be kind of like driving in halo, if that makes any sense.
