#SmartGuns
this irreversibly changed how I think smartguns should work in games

cyberpunk 2077 really missed out on cool takedown animations when they decided smartguns could be wireless rather than something you could be strangled with

it's where you're allowed to be really horny about both elves and smartguns at the same time

....to make things even spicier, a Yautja hunting party full of unblooded youth just landed on the moon for their first Xenomorph Hunt. Our plucky colonists -- given smartguns, turrets, and other weaponry -- will be caught in the middle. If they hold out for 24 solar hours, they'll win big!

being a gekko maintenance staffer probably sucks. war is being fought with gene-locked smartguns and here you are, degrees out the ass, doing upkeep on a million dollar horse that will detonate your entire skeleton if it panic kicks you instead of just your skull

I am suddenly MUCH more invested in finding MultiLock-capable SmartGuns

Ping T3 also lets SmartGuns target affected enemies 25% faster.

This improved SmartGun + Hacking synergy rules.

He visto quejas de que haya rifles de pulso y smartguns en Alien: Earth por ser supuestamente incoherente que las armas evolucionen tan poco en 60 años, lol, lmao even.

Well it's sci-fi so do smartguns, orbital weapons, powered armor, advanced sensors, drones, hacking, globe-spanning surveillance, and other cyberpunk doo-dads count as "important" even though they're mass-produced?

And I like in settings with, like, smartguns and electronic jamming and stuff, a mechanically operated dumb slugthrower is a cool contrast and a reliable friend when the heavy static hits 😎

I can get down with that!

What, the Smartguns? They auto-track to the target.

The build for the smartguns was brilliant. It’s a German MG42 fitted with Kawasaki handlebar controls. The lattice structure over the barrel is part of the swing arm.

It also solves MY biggest gripe with Romulus which is if pulse rifles have smart targeting why have smartguns?

Oh, this thing fucks. At last, a step firmly towards true "smartguns".

In today’s tenth issue, I look back at Aliens (1990), Konami’s brutal and beautiful arcade classic that introduced me to a universe of smartguns, facehuggers, and one unforgettable summer.

The post Zeta Gundam development of beam smartguns and incoms was WILD.

I really got into smartguns this run through, even though Her Majesty was my go-to pistol. the Ba Xing Chong is basically a "delete enemies" button

The big question Alien Romulus begs is if pulse rifles had an aimbot in the stock this whole time why did Vasquez & Drake's smartguns need a giant honking steadycam mount?

It’s interesting when futuristic settings like cyberpunk try to make swords and knives viable in a world with rocket launchers and smartguns. Cyberpunk 2077 at least has the excuse of cyberware, but even that feels like a bit of a stretch. Dunno, it just feels weird.

Smartguns from that old movie are every officer’s dream but they never work. Turns out it’s cheaper to make us grunts smarter, faster, meaner. The human body is like a gymnast, trying to stay balanced, and you can keep pushing us until we need active cooling and water. I’m ready.

anyway our smartguns are actually more like Eclipse Phase seeker launchers than they are like cyberpunk 2077 smartguns.
like yes they shoot homing bullets, but you can't just point and shoot with them, you need to mark targets or have your team mark them and then can make indirect fire with it

cyberpunk, speculative: IFF smartguns so that big brother will tell you who's guilty
cyberpunk, realistic: IFF smartguns so cops are no longer capable of accidentally shooting each other

the Magnetic Dog Sisters coming out of retirement and threatening to destroy the Golden Fleece unless 40 million nuyen worth of cocaine is delivered within 12 hours armed with neurolinked smartguns
