Does the weapon personality need an integrated weapon commlink? Or can the personality just be a chip put in the weapon?

[firebug]

I think you can put it into any device as long as it actually has some kind of computer in it.  Like any smartgun.  What it's supposed to do is give it a "metahuman-like interface" right?  So I figure if you've got like, a cutesy personality on a smartgun that doesn't have a weapon commlink, your AR interface with it is all candy pink-and-blue and uses phrases like "oh noes! only 4 more bullets!" when you're low on ammo as opposed to a plane "Ammo Remaining: 4".

Then you can give it the Voice Command/Response mod so it can actually vocalize!  "Aww, you hit him so hard he took a nap!  Sleep well Mr. Lone Star~

[RHat]

Well, the text of the accessory mentions the gun's computer - so it would have to have one in some form, at the very least.  Which sounds a lot like Weapon Commlink to me.  But it is rather vague, smartgun system might well be enough.

Given that a smartgun already mentions adding electronics, I would figure that would be enough. It might need a Pilot upgrade, but that's a software aspect that shouldn't need any capacity.

And then, just think! You can have clippy popping up every time you level your weapon at a target.
"It looks like you're trying to shoot someone. Want some help?"

Actually, it's Tomey in Shadowrun.

Oh god, put Tomey in a Spellslinger glove, "It looks like you're attempting to light people on fire. Care for some assistance?"

And make it visible/audible to everyone in AR, so they can enjoy it too.

Slingers. Pure awesome. Did that ever see the light of day?

I think that all weapon personalities should be high-maintenance female AIs.

Preferably named "Vera" or  "Betsy".

"Mungo gotz da nuu shoota."

"Oh great, this is going to be wonderful.  Another PAC?  Gatling gun?  Don't tell me you kept that MG-42 from when we had to deal with the Old Skool Nazis!"

"Nah, Mungo haz Holdout." 

"Sir, truly, I must insist that you refer to me properly, I am a Holland and Holland Royal Double Rifle in .500 Nitro Express.  And will someone please save me from this savage, he has taken a hacksaw to my barrels and shoulder brace!  Those were finely crafted by the finest British Gunsmiths the world has ever known!"

"Is it sad that Mungo's 'Holdout' is smarter than him?"

"Dude, the ANVIL we got from the Tolkien rejects is smarter than Mungo!  I think it's sad that he outsmarted the Nazis."

[FlyDog]

Weapon personality just makes me think of the great talking guns from Borderlands 2.

I love the guilt-ridden sniper rifle.

It reminds me of how much I've pissed Handsome Jack off.

"Say hello to my little friend. No, really."
"...Hello."
"Howdy! My name's Jasper, but you just call me Ja---"
BOOM
"Aw, now why'd you go and do that?"
