I was reading one of the blogs out there (can't remember which one) and the gun expert of the day was decrying the idea of hanging everything but the kitchen sink on an AR. He said something to the effect of "....flashlights, holosights, laser sights...why not a friggin GPS and rear view mirrors too...?"
At the risk of getting a wedgie from the other kids on the forum...I thought about that for a bit and thought...why not? For the GPS that is?
Consider: we now have watch sized GPS's. The technology is there to put one of these handy little units on the average grunt's gun with a minimum of weight. If any of you have ever played "Halo" or one of the other sci-fi video games, the characters all have radar screens and such on their rifles...and you will use them as you play the game too.
I don't think I need rear view mirrors on a black gun, but an integrated GPS is do-able, and possibly an on board laser ranging system too.
