I recall some hot discussions about some, claimed, unfair advantage with some device a few years ago but I can’t remember what that was about, resolution? Or something likes that? Will this device be the source for the next heated argument?

Think; “engage the enemy!” and……………kapaow!

I'd say that this is, as Viking alludes, an unfair advantage - if the device actually works. It may not figure much in real-life combat, due to the difficulties involved in wiring up the weaponry, but it could certainly give an edge in virtual combat situations. That might be fine in one of the fantasy FPS-type games, but definitely not in a period piece like a WW1 or WW2 sim.

I expect everyone'll want one now!
