Well, not only that, it also makes no sense. A smartlink is meant
to directly interface a gun and the human brain. An armed drone in captain's
chair mode doesn't have a human brain to do anything with, and an
armed drone with a rigger 'jumped into' it is already wired into the
rigger's brain, through a *different* region of the brain.

(Besides, the gunnery rules are awful enough as it is.)
