By canon, all implanted weapons use cyberimplant except eye guns and oral weapons, which have their own skills.
Using an implanted pistol is very different from using a handheld pistol. Aiming is completely different and your posture is completely different.

Realisticly, the cyberspur could be considered an edged weapon. There is little difference between natrual claws and handrazors, for that matter. Yet, natural claws use unarmed and razors use cyberimplant. One might justify it by saying that the spurs and handrazors are different because they are ancored to the bone yet that isn't consistant with the rest of the rules. A rapier is greatly different from a fireaxe but both use the same skill. The truth is that weapon classifications are terribly inconsistant.


Phasing out cyberimplant combat may not be an unreasonable house rule but it is just that, a house rule.
