It's not explained. We've got a few choices though... He's overwritten Bane's brain. This one seems the least plausible; Smith has somehow managed to overwrite Bane's brain and implant his own memories and consciousness upon Bane's, in much the same way that the Agents overwrite bluepill humans inside the Matrix. Obviously this opens up many unanswered questions but we do have the two canon examples such as the Steak Scene from the original Matrix film (" I don't wanna remember nothing ") and from the Matrix webcomic " Goliath [LINK] " where we see that the machines have the ability to edit memory.

Yes In the third Matrix movie, Smith (as Bane) and Neo fight inside a ship. In the real world. He is still using his fighting knowledge that he gained from the construct program. That being said, all of the speed and strength advantages he gained in the Matrix are not available to him (until he is blinded?). It is also unlikely that he physically conditions his body with the movements and muscle memory that would be required for him to perform even close to the level he does in the Matrix.

And the description of the damage says: Despite designed for use against machines, the weapon is also easily able to kill a human target, demonstrated by Cypher when he kills Dozer and injures Tank in the original Matrix film. A shot with the weapon was the equivalent to being struck by lightning or coming in contact with a live wire, though more indirect shots would only bur
