Interesting interpretation. IMO it is a weapon no more than the standard collimator on a rifle. (IIRC Kromm allowed collimators to be taken as Perks.)

I don't even know what a collimator is.

{Edit: but having now looked it up via the wonderful intertubes, it seems like an important distinction is that the collimator is used to prepare the weapon before combat, not as an aid IN combat. That puts it in the category of tool rather than weapon for me.}

I believe he means a collimating sight (HT156), also known as a "red dot sight," which does indeed give in-combat bonuses.
