1. A system for a firearm, the system comprising:
a first data communication network being located on the firearm, the first data communication network including a rail configured for delivering a static voltage to supply electrical power and for superimposing on the static voltage a dynamic, time-varying voltage to encode and transfer data communications on the rail using a packet structure; and
a modular transceiver configured for mounting on the rail, the modular transceiver having:
a first interface for communicating with the first data communication network; and
a second interface for communicating with a second data communication network, the second data communication network being located off the firearm;
wherein the modular transceiver is configured to transmit the data communications between the first and second data communication networks.
