Abstract
The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for dynamically operating a peripheral component of a gun, such as a flashlight, an electronic sight, or a haptic motor. The gun may perform an authentication procedure to identify a user operating the gun, retrieve a configuration file from memory housed in the gun in response to the authentication procedure, and perform a function at the peripheral component based on the configuration file indicating that the function is to be performed for the user. The gun may collect authentication data, such as biometric data or token data, and the gun may identify the user operating the gun based on the authentication data. The user operating the gun may be identified in response to matching the collected authentication data to authentication data stored in the memory, and the gun may determine the function based on the configuration file indicating the function for the user.
