    Why not use the action of the recoil for induction? charge the battery while you shoot.

    I can see integrating different things on your body...NODs, a wrist Garmin if you happen to have one, a radio, etc. to one battery; usually if you're submerged in water you have more important things to worry about than your tech going dead, like not drowning. :P
