Claim 1

A method of affixing an attachment to a gun, the method comprising: aligning a guide rod of the attachment with a cavity of the gun; inserting, based on the aligning the guide rod with the cavity, a protruding rail of the attachment into a complimentary recess of the gun; coupling an electrical interface of the attachment with an electrical interface of the gun based on the aligning the guide rod of the attachment with the cavity of the gun; and fastening the attachment to the gun by causing a locking pin to extend through (i) a first hole of the attachment, (ii) a first hole of a frame of the gun, (iii) a second hole of the frame of the gun, and (iv) a second hole of the attachment such that the locking pin is in contact with both the attachment and the frame of the gun. aligning a guide rod of the attachment with a cavity of the gun; inserting, based on the aligning the guide rod with the cavity, a protruding rail of the attachment into a complimentary recess of the gun; coupling an electrical interface of the attachment with an electrical interface of the gun based on the aligning the guide rod of the attachment with the cavity of the gun; and fastening the attachment to the gun by causing a locking pin to extend through (i) a first hole of the attachment, (ii) a first hole of a frame of the gun, (iii) a second hole of the frame of the gun, and (iv) a second hole of the attachment such that the locking pin is in contact with both the attachment and the frame of the gun.
