Techniques for dynamically managing a gun component

A method of dynamically operating a peripheral component of a gun, the method comprising:

• performing an authentication procedure to identify a user operating the gun;
• retrieving a configuration file from memory of the gun in response to a determination that the authentication procedure is complete;
• determining a state of the gun;
• and
• performing a function at the peripheral component based on (i) the configuration file indicating that the function is to be performed for the user and (ii) the state of the gun.

A method of dynamically operating an aiming sight of a gun, the method comprising:

• performing an authentication procedure to identify a user operating the gun;
• retrieving a configuration file from memory of the gun in response to a determination that the authentication procedure is complete;
• and
• performing a function at the aiming sight based on the configuration file indicating that the function is to be performed for the user, the function comprising illuminating the aiming sight of the gun such that the aiming sight glows according to a color of light indicated in the configuration file.

A method of dynamically operating a haptic motor of a gun, the method comprising:

• performing an authentication procedure to identify a user operating the gun;
• retrieving a configuration file from memory of the gun in response to a determination that the authentication procedure is complete;
• and
• performing a function at the haptic motor based on the configuration file indicating that the function is to be performed for the user, the function comprising shaking the haptic motor of the gun.

A method of dynamically operating a display panel of a gun, the method comprising:

• performing an authentication procedure to identify a user operating the gun;
• retrieving a configuration file from memory of the gun in response to a determination that the authentication procedure is complete;
• determining a number of cartridges present in the gun;
• and
• performing a function at the display panel based on the configuration file indicating that the function is to be performed for the user, the function comprising displaying a numeric value on the display panel of the gun, the numeric value indicating the number of cartridges present in the gun.

A method of configuring a peripheral component of a gun, the method comprising:

• receiving, through a user interface, a selection of a function that is to be performed at the peripheral component of the gun for a user;
• collecting authentication data from the user of the gun;
• performing, based on the authentication data, an authentication procedure to determine that the user is authorized to configure the gun;
• and
• in response to the performing the authentication procedure, storing, in a data structure in memory of the gun, an indication that the function is to be performed at the peripheral component of the gun for the user.

A method of configuring a peripheral component of a gun, the method comprising:

• displaying, on a user interface, a list of multiple peripheral components of the gun;
• receiving, through the user interface, input indicative of selections of the peripheral component from the list of multiple peripheral components and a function that is to be performed at the peripheral component of the gun for a user;
• and
• storing, in a data structure in memory of the gun, an indication that the function is to be performed at the peripheral component of the gun for the user.
