Just wanted some input on how this is actually supposed to work or how you would rule this gun/eye can be used in your campaigns?

It says it works as a hellpistol with a range of 10m. My question is then do you need a talent to shoot from your eye or just full BS? The MIU for weapons seems kind of similar as this eye must be operated by thought. This device will give the linked weapon to be used as a free action and with full BS.

Baleful Eye:

Can it be used as a free action or can it be used together with another weapon and do you then get penalty for two-weapon wielding?

Do you require a special talent to use it or is it just full BS?

and what about clip size? Is this the same as a normal hellpistol or is it just using energy from the body?

What do you think?

Going by the RAW, it'd be just like shooting a hellpistol, but with a range of 10m. That would mean it'd use a half-action, not need a special talent, and would have the same clip size.

And then what about melee? Could it be used together with a two handed weapon?

Counts as a pistol in melee as stated in the description, and I'd say it's better than a digi-weapon; which digis can be used when holding something in the hand it is on. So, yeah, I could see someone using it in melee with a great weapon. I'd still require the two-weapon: melee and two-weapon: ballistic talents for reduced penalties; but would not allow for ambidextrous to reduce the penalty any more. A little bit of a balancing act that.
