Chameleon Coating: A coating of ruthenium polymers is

a weapon larger than pistol size needs this modification to
receive the full bonus of the chameleon suit (otherwise it’s reduced

My take on this is that the Chameleon Suit is a combination of ruthenium polymers + a sensor suite, but Chameleon Coating is only the ruthenium polymers. If I'm reading this correctly, the ruthenium polymers need the sensor suit to work. Since the weapon doesn't have anything like that, would chameleon coating work on a weapon without having a suit to go with it?
