1. An apparatus for programming a munition loaded in a gun, the apparatus comprising:
a body configured for being mechanically coupled to the gun and for being in a haptic contact with a user of the gun;
one or more haptic actuators (HAs) mechanically coupled to the body for generating vibrations to provide a haptic signal to the user holding the gun; and,
a haptic controller configured to cause the one or more HAs to modulate the vibrations with a munition programming signal comprising munition programming information destined to the munition in the gun, to test a vibration response of the gun coupled to the body to detect mechanical resonance thereof, and to spectrally adjust the vibrations away from the detected mechanical resonances.
