Ideas for readouts/meters:
Charge remaining in power supply
Heat level up to operational failure
Coolant level remaining?
Averaged number of shots remaining
Simplified diagnostic output of electrical system integrity
...idiot lights pertaining to any of the above.
Programmable trigger group setting ie. Safe, Semi, Semi shot cadence normalizer (no matter how chaotically you squeeze the trigger, the weapon will fire at a set rate), Burst (2, 3, 4, 5, 10.. whatever), Full, Burst Cadence (5 shot, 500 ms pause, 5 shot).
Some of these ideas may be a little out of the creative text concept, but there's a lot you can do with electrical weapons. Most of those ideas are taken from the operation of electrically controlled paintball guns, or the shooting discipline that soldiers practice. In the latter case, the discipline would be programmed into the gun itself (like machinegun shot cadence. In Canada it's 4 shot, then a pause, then 4 shot. In American, the cadence is "Die mother-f*cker, die. Die mother-f*cker, die"- 6 shots, then a pause). However, this is less ideas for CT than they are just for filling in space on the weapon. Take any or none as you wish.
Here I go an angry brother gonna make his move
But can I buck him in the city so I never lose?
See I'm a get him in the crowd with a couple heavies
And lay the barrel to the ground, hold the gat steady
And now I'm ready for my adversary, talk is cheap
I'm looking for a way to make a plan gonna keep it neat
So don't be telling me to get the non-violent spirit
'cause when I'm violent is the only time the devils hear it
'cause all I want to see is m****f***ing brains hanging
