I don't really see this as a problem. The idea is
to give the crew a weapon that they can use that cannot be turned against
them. Regardless of how fast the weapon is the owner can always be surprised and
have it taken away. In the case of smartgun it doesn't really gain the attacker
much.
As to the comment that they are slow, in what sense
do you mean? If it's the recognition speed then I would be surprised if it
couldn't be dramatically improved through the use of specifically designed chips
and more optimised programming.

Wrong....since
those guns are slow, and tricky i would not trust my life to one.
