There's some mention of a smartgun needing DNI for the wireless bonus, but I'm not entirely clear if that restriction is intended.
Without DNI you can't send free mental commands to eject clip or change firing mode and without DNI the smartgun system cannot move your body in real-time to compensate for wind or target movement etc which give you bonus dice to hit.
You don't need DNI for firing around corners, gaining +2 accuracy, taking a simple action to eject clip, fire gun or change firing mode without physically touching the gun (for example by using an AR glove to modify an ARO).
Also if a character is wearing trodes which provide DNI without an implant can they get the wireless bonus?
Yes. You can get DNI by wearing trodes or by implanting a datajack, cyberdeck, commlink or control rig.
Do they still need the vision enhancement part?
Yes. A complete
Smartgun System consist of
both a Smartgun firearm accessory (internal or external)
and a Smartlink visual enhancement (internal or external).
