Oh boy, in my opinion only one setting actually cared to make a proper logic behind and that's the UC timeline.
The other AC timeline only use buzzword that sound any time they need their main mecha to have the funnel upgrade.
oh btw, we decided that quantum brainwave are a thing now, so MC get cool funnel.

Under UC logic, grossly,
- minovsky jamming fuck all kind of remote weapon and long range targeting, jamming radio and even light,
- turn out, Newtype people literally just feel people/thing around, they aren't jammed, they can even talk mind-to-mind without being bothered,
- so someone invent gimmick that read the newtype bizarre brainwave, if the pilot "feel" a target, the funnels read where it's supposed to be (they can't detect it themselves cause minovsky) go there and shoot it,
- funnels only use stored energy (like the energy in beam riffle) / bits produces their energy, somehow even in UC thermodynamic is less a law than a guideline

After it's interpretation and rule of cool.
It would take a ridiculous amount of data exchange on top of "automated behaviour" (assuming the funnel can see/talk to each other's if close) and to interpret human intent crazy well to move as they usually do.
Same can be told about controlling humanoid MS with stick&pedal tho.
