I sent this picture to someone with experience in RFIDs. He says (IHHO) it doesn't record data from the gun (except perhaps rounds fired). The armorer with the aprropriate scanner can enter data into it recording who's gun it is, maintenance schedule, etc.
H&K does have a patent for electronically disabling a gun except for certain users.
