Homebuilt Gun Information

Ok, so you are interested in making your own lasertag gun, but don't know where to start. Hopefully this page will clear things up for you. Making a tag gun is actually fairly simple once you get the idea. Here you will find information on a basic gun (it hits Laser Challenge sensors in common mode, but not much else), and intermediate gun (with addons like ammo, ammo lights and a muzzle flash), and more advanced guns (incorporating things such as sound, 7-segment displays, LCD displays, limited ammo and such). While the advanced guns sound much more interesting, they are more advanced for a reason. They are considerably more involved, both in the coding and in the construction. As such, it is best to start off with the simplest gun, and work up from there. Now, without further delay, here is an overview.
