The thought of recoil compensators on cyberguns scares me. Just think
of what is needed for a normal gun to have some sort of gas vent. I'm
talking about ports... Scary. What is those large holes in your
arm?... Oh, those are just my built in Miltech Gas Ventilation System
for my Ares Cyber SMG.. Oh, yea it has a rating of 3 on the recoil
suppression scale. I am not saying it could not or would not be done,
just that it would look pretty darn funny or obvious depending on how
this was done. Another option may be some sort of SMALL Gyro
Stabilization system for recoil suppression. This system would have to
be SMALL. And I don't really think it could be done for a reasonable
amount of cash.

About Smartlinks in cyberguns. I see no reason to deny it. It seems
like a good idea. I used the rules for Built-In Smartlinks for this
when it came up in SRI.

Just some thoughts.
