Should be. If they catch them in the act. Otherwise, they have to prove who modified the equipment. The charge would be 'Destruction of Government Property. The same as if you shot yourself in the foot. Like a supply sergeant when i wa sin basic. The fool drew a revolver out of the company arms room and was playing 'Quick Draw' in front of us when he shot himself in his right foot. He was charged, and discharged with no pension.
Misbehaving while on military guard duty is not treason. Hope that helps to clear up your confusion.
Firearms' would use customized, computerized scopes to assist with aiming. 'The Linux-powered scope produces a display that looks something like the heads-up display you'd see sitting in the cockpit of a fighter jet, showing the weapon's compass orientation, cant, and incline. To shoot at something, you first "mark" it using a button near the trigger. Marking a target illuminates it with the tracking scope's built-in laser, and the target gains a pip in the scope's display. When a target is marked, the tracking scope takes into account the range of the target, the ambient temperature and humidity, the age of the barrel, and a whole boatload of other parameters. It quickly reorients the display so the crosshairs in the center accurately show where the round will go.'"
Thats a hell of an idea!
Though I dont think it would work very well as a video game. Maybe a scoring system and a Wifi link so you can do YouTube with your kills?
That would be COOL!!!

The methodology of the left has always been:
WiFi on a battlefield is full of secure communications these days. They use Napster code to update from headset to headset, and terminal to terminal. Remember how hard it was to get that TM you needed to repair some military gear, and making sure it was up to date? Now they are all electronic, and availible to anyone authorized to see them.
reliability are important.
Spring loaded firing pin with a sear pulled by a solenoid should be quite feasible. Not on dry-cell batteries, but from a vehicle battery that can sink 30A without trouble.
It could multiple fire if you rig it like a two note doorbell - a very strong solenoid pulls the plunger back, and the firing pin is on the release end of the solenoid - the DING is your "armed" warning, and the end of the spring-assisted overtravel is when the pin hits the primer on the "Dong" stroke of the Ding Dong. BUT.
I would rig a second Safety solenoid that pulls a blocker plate out from in front of the firing pin hole, too. An accidental impulse on the firing pin line without pulling the safety out of the way would only net a Ding Thunk. Not a Ding BANG!
Sounds like a useful system - every Sniper is pulling his trigger already to signal "I have a clean shot" and if you lost your sight picture you'd release and the gun couldn't fire.
When you were all in the Green, the commander issued the "Go" order to drop a dozen hammers at once. Though he should give a "3,2,1" over the radio so it isn't a total surprise when it goes BANG! - and so if you lose your picture you get your finger clear right away.
