peltier panels mounted to a weapon could use barrel heat(there is a lot of it) to recharge such things as sighting systems, laser sights, or night vision equipment. a piezo-buttstock could also help with this...

Well, why not. We've got generators on everything else in the HB.

This would sit between the heat source and cooling system.

Darn, the entire sighting system just shut off. Quick, fire off another round.
