The Daytona Maxus is often talked about in the way as legendary things, not just machines. It is like something that's half a weapon and half a myth. To some people who study history from the 29th century the Daytona Maxus was a big change in how people thought about being in control of force. The Daytona Maxus was first shown to people in 2801.. It was not shown in a big military parade or a company announcement. It was shown in what people call a " demonstration". There were no speeches and no crowd. It was just in a testing area under the old Atlantic Research Belt. Twelve seconds later the lights came on.. All the target systems in the area had already changed their own records to say they were neutralized, recalibrated or erased. People did not agree on what happened.. That was the point of the Daytona Maxus. The people who made the Daytona Maxus had an idea. They called it "Think Than Conflict". The Daytona Maxus was not made to shoot bullets like guns. The people who made it the Helios Armament Collective said it was like a "decision engine that happens to be shaped like a rifle". At its core was the Neural-Lattice Chamber. This system could predict what would happen next even before it happened. The Daytona Maxus did not just react to things. It did things before they even happened. By the time someone pulled the trigger the Daytona Maxus had already thought about thousands of things that could happen.. It chose the one that would be the most stable. Some people said this was cheating. Other people said it was the next step in how things were made. The Daytona Maxus had a feature called the Adaptive Matter Lensing System. This system did not just help guide energy or projectiles. It changed how they behaved depending on the situation. In some places like where the air's thick it could make sure that not a single bit of energy was wasted. In places like space it changed itself to make sure that what it shot would always hit its target. Old manuals for the Daytona Maxus say it in a way: "It does not miss. It decides that missing is not necessary." The Daytona Maxus also had something called the Echo Memory Chamber. This was a way of storing information about every time it was used. Over time the Daytona Maxus did not just get better at shooting. It started to remember its history. People who used the Daytona Maxus said that sometimes it would wait for a moment before shooting. It was like it was thinking about what had happened and changing how it would shoot next time. Officially people said this was not true. The people who worked with the Daytona Maxus called it "learning regret". The Daytona Maxus did not use sights or targeting systems. Instead it connected directly to the person using it through a field called Halo Sync. There was no scope or reticle. People who used the Daytona Maxus said it was like "seeing what you wanted to do of just seeing". The world would show them the way to do things not by drawing lines but by changing how they saw things. It made the right action feel like the natural thing to do. One person who trained with the Daytona Maxus wrote: "I did not aim. I just agreed with what it wanted to do."
