Smart Weapons

[mancerbear]

I have a bit of a question...

I'm looking at smart weapons, and I'm not really understanding their use. They either have Computer/0 or computer/1, but what programs would you put in them? An Interface for sure, but what else? You can't add an Expert program to assist in aiming, as that would require an Intelligent Interface with a bandwidth of one, leaving no room to run anything else (of course, Gun Combat is based on Dex, so you strictly speaking can't use it anyway). So what then? A Database? A Translator?

I'm I missing something?

I may let my imagination run a bit wild here, but:

Intelligent Interface is an AI that can display data. Together with an Augmented Reality overlay in the scope it could turn your view into something FPS-like with friendlies, civilians, and enemies shown in different colours. The gun may even refuse to fire when aimed at friendlies.

Show an overlay of vulnerable parts of the body on a target, helping you target vital organs for that specific race.
Show an overlay of the skeleton, in case you need to shoot through a target.
The gun could issue "helpful" suggestions, such as to use APDS ammo against armoured targets.

Agent plus Database: use facial recognition or gait recognition to identify a specific target. Find a specific target in a group. Follow a designated target in a group milling about.

It's for installing an aimbot like console gamers use. /snicker
