I found an interesting website of a company that makes a SmartGun that can
be programmed to recognize it's rightful owner and deny use for unauthorized
users. It has no conventional moving parts and is all electronic operated.
Does any guns in Shadowrun have fingerprint verification and stuff?

There is an accessory in SR that does that -- it originally appeared in the
Corporate Security Handbook, but is also in the Cannon Companion under the
name Biometric Safety, on page 32. IMHO it should be available in different
ratings, but that is easy enough to add yourself.
