2. A method performed by a gun, the method comprising:
performing an authentication procedure to determine whether a user operating the gun is an authorized user of the gun;
generating a request message in response to a determination that the user operating the gun is an authorized user of the gun;
transmitting the request message to a user device;
receiving, from the user device, a message indicating that is in response to the request message and that indicates a default behavior of a peripheral component of the gun;
modifying, based on the message, a configuration file to indicate that the peripheral component of the gun is to perform the default behavior in response to a user event;
identifying an occurrence of the user event based on an analysis of an output of a sensor of the gun; and
performing, in response to the user event, the default behavior at the peripheral component.
