11. A human transported weapon apparatus, comprising:
a human transported weapon, comprising a barrel that is movably mounted within a stock;
sensors providing target data from one to a plurality of targets in an area of sighting;
a computational subsystem, responsive to the target data, that determines which of the targets are available targets to select from;
targeting logic that chooses a selected target from the available targets;
recognition logic, for recognizing a type of target as one of human and non-human for each said acquired target, responsive to analyzing the target data to provide recognition of each said acquired target; and,
computing logic selects a level of damage that is intended to be inflicted upon the selected target, responsive to the computing subsystem; and,
a firing subsystem, adjusting the position of the barrel within the stock, responsive to the selected target; and,
controlling firing of a munition through the human transported weapon and at the selected target.
