Optic weaponry
Optics comprise a mechanoid's sense of sight, feeding video data to their other systems. However, many mechanoids enhance these structures by installing optional weapons systems. Common examples include beam or partical weaponry, especially lasers. In these cases a robot can quite literally shoot what it sees.
