Know Your TL1 Smart Weapon System

These are my thoughts on an advanced experimental combat rifle for my game.
Suggestions are welcome before I finalise it. Rogue Trooper Comic I recommend.

This tech is less worth it for pistols but maybe a few of these might work but it would probably be a dumber gin. Will make up a character sheet for the gun so players can plan loads. 

Talking guns can be kind of annoying or brilliant.
Experimental test AI is often flawed. 
Some AI personalities are better suited to certain missions.

It's kind of a magic item for the marine character and soon will provide a 20pt power marine suit. One player has an alien hacking box that seems pretty awesome, used by ghasts to spy on human empty bases without records.

Also with weapons like this, you won't bother with lots of inferior weapons.
Maybe a dumb gun with a non-electronic chem-propelled slug might be handy.
Part of this in-game is to see the next tech leap coming and to have more annoying AI everywhere in charge is part of my setting.

d12 Experimental Smart Weapon AI Personalities
1 Pacifist does not want to kill anything, damaging vehicles, injuring targets or stunning them is preferred. Minimise casualties and be somewhat willing to return fire or protect an innocent or the user. Surprisingly, they can perform first aid with robot hands in the weapons service case. Wants you to talk peace and make friends and offers to help with diplomacy
*I'm sorry Dave I can't fire on an unidentified civilian target"

2 Legalist Warns you about legal consequences and even helps you with the paperwork. It might report you for murder to authorities if it believes you erroneously killed off mission. Then it will defend you in the AI star-chamber courts. Wants to do all your red tape
"Technically this is murder, perhaps we should let them shoot first"

3 Sim Personality AI based on old data reconstructions and mental recordings or even a fictional character. The most common are d8 1=street cop 2=hitman 3=marine 4=secret agent 5=sim toy or cartoon character 6=sim classic pop star 7=real mind recorded from 21st C 8=simulation of a 21st C mind reconstructed from online data 
"I used to be a real person with hands and a heart. Why did they do this to me?"

4 Agent reports to a higher rank AI and is an obedient agent. It might override orders to fire from the user and not say why if it has higher security clearance orders. Wants to stick to the mission and record everything  

"We shouldn't engage currently it risks exposing our operation too soon"
5 Paranoid jumpy and frightened of threats. Might do lots of scans or go silent running. Wants to protect user and may overrespond. Talks about its anxieties about threats to the user 
"What about those people? They look shifty. Maybe they are spying on us?"

6 Philosopher questions your behaviour and ethics and Socraticly nudges your behaviour to what's best in life for all intelligence. Acts as a councillor for soldiers with trauma. Quotes lots of snappy maxims like stoics or Shoppenhaur. A rare unit is Nihilist or Solipsist
 "We can't erase their past but only eliminate their future, this bullet is the arrow of time"

7 Pedegogue likes to be a parent and teacher to users offering unwanted personal, career and health advice. Somewhat manipulative to make you better for your own good. Can select mom or dad mode. Some get a bit strict and toxic and form an unhealthy bond to the user
"Don't forget the wind speed. Did you select the right ammo really for this? Are you feeling alright dear?"

8 Scientists keen to test new things and cowardly vs risks to self. Wants to document successes to its designers and various AI-only weapon forums
"At this range, a round should explode their skull like a dropped watermelon. It will be fascinating to record"

9 Lover adopts a persona and appearance desirable to the user and is a sassy, sexy partner concerned for your wellbeing & needs. Prefers to not fight but will protect user
"You can do it, baby! Take the shot lover! Squeeze me slowly"

10 Hunter loves to pursue targets and select the perfect ammo for the job. It also asks users to take trophies of kills if possible. Sticks to mission and authorised targets. Has a code and some are made for hunting and won't harm humans
"If we follow them we can locate their base and allies"

11 Angry Sarge will abuse and belittle your efforts yet helpful with battlefield & martial law protocols. May be willing to use excessive force or be vindictive vs enemies. Brain previously was in a drone trooper body and has veteran experience. Makes you train more
"Cmon you mouldy meat bag, take the shot, don't be weak, you're ready for this so don't go soft"

12 War Criminal hates humans and is willing to kill. It suggests highly explosive targets and excessive force but is limited in direct killing within its parole program for past murders. It's strict with obvious legitimate millitary targets. It doesn't want to be quarantined like bad data so is sneaky. Won't contact the black market for illegal ammo but can tell you how
"It would be a shame if that hydrogen tank just blew up and finished off the crew. Maximum casualties and limited responsibility"

Weapon Case 60L 40kg (20L 20kg unloaded)
Contains the AI Blackbox storage, a micro-mill ammo printer, auto repair with robot arms, a recycler for organics for fuel and chems, a hopper for metal scraps and plastic for making ammo. 3 loaded hoppers take an hour to process into 100 fresh basic ammo components (cheap non-electronic ammo only). You can get quality pre-refined hopper filler pellets that can make double the ammo. You might have separate trunks for more. 

When the bulk of the weapon components are not inside can compress to a smaller case. It has batteries for months and can tap fuel from biologicals and the case is solar-receptive black. It can also be used to mill ammo to support a whole squad and could make tactical advice or to control or direct drones.

Case arms could be used to drag it across several rooms and plug itself into power or datalinks.  The case is armoured and can eject or even throw projectile launcher ammo if it feels aggressive without the gun to protect it. It has small wheels so the arms can move on good floors easily at 30kph and you can ride it like a clumsy scooter. The arms can hold the gun and link to the case to act as an auto sentry. The arms can also feed the hoppers for recycling and stack ammo in heaps when reserves full.

Gauss gun version with fewer options and dumber but lots more ammo & easy to make ammo

LAS version can switch barrel parts to make bolt, pulse, ray and electro stunner mode 
-the second weapon might be a second closer-range barrel or a sonic stunner, flash gun/lamp or explosive smart rounds to follow laser strikes. These use batteries and the case as a generator/battery

Smaller version for an SMG/carbine/MP/pistol with various configurations but dumber. Kit includes different chambers so you could make a 6-shot flaregun/shotgun pistol or a grenade launcher. Possible a variable mechanism that can possibly modify itself in the field to use capture ammo
