When I read the description: "Knowledge of gunnery computer systems, including the use of weapon upgrade modules."
I thought the bonus would apply to heat sinks and such.
I hadn't paid much attention to it, as my Battleships weren't pressed for CPU.
I recently bought some faction frigates to play around with... and I find myself very pressed for CPU - especially when I try to mount a heat sink II or two - 30 cpu units a piece is a lot on a Slicer.
It seems they don't get any CPU bonus at all from the weapons upgrade skill.

Is this an oversight, or working as intended?

Working as intended, actually. While the first line is exactly what you quoted, the second line spells out which modules the skill has an effect on: Turrets, Launchers, and Smartbombs.

If you want to use your low slots to increase your damage but you're low on CPU, try 1) Tracking Enhancers 2) faction/storyline heat sinks.

Well tracking computers are the only computers really out of weapon mods. They meant how like a car has a computer now your gun does as well so only applies to guns. The weapon mod like gallente is a magnetic stailbizer, so you see stabilizes, not sure if there is a computer in that. The way you described weapon mods is different. Just read how they are called and how that would help your gun shoot and you can see.

Yea... but 100 million ISK modules on a 18 million isk ship......
meh....

I feel like there should be sizes (like afterburners, armor plate, and shield extenders) for a lot of low slot/medium slot modules.

Its just so easy to fit most things on a BS, where they either multiply a whole lot more DPS/ harden a whole lot more HP/regenerate a whole lot more cap or shields, at the same fitting cost (and capacitor cost where applicable.
