Rider had an Armament that let him use the skill Arms Creation, and from what i can deduce the ARS picked it up and used it to create the ISS kit.

Thing is...

If the original Armament created guns, that what on earth is that?!

Spoiler for Answer:

To set the record straight: the ISS kits only bear the emblem of two crossed guns, guns are not the kit itself.

The "fail-safe" thing you're talking about is not entirely accurate, that refers to the weapons Rider created but wouldn't fire - he made them that way as a sign of peace. Only one gun has ever been seen, it's named "Seven Roses".

As for the emblem themselves, they're like a watermark on each piece of equipment created by Rider's armament.

I'm not exactly sure why ARS could pick up the armament to begin with. A theory I have in mind is that once the redhead rolled and the fighting started, Cosmos went invisible and quietly picked up the armament in Card form or something like that.

Finally, the fail-safe function of the ISS kit, IIRC, is a recall function so that it flies back to the source, wherever that is.

Spoiler for Speculation:

It could be possible that the ISS consciousness is Red Rider's conciousness left behind in the AW. Somehow, his consciousness remained in the Arms Creation and the ARG managed to corrupt it to that thing.

I am more interested in why the main server has copies of the consciousness of BB players? What would they do with these copies of consciousness? Unless... (look at the SAO and AW Connection thread in SAO sub forum).
