Modding Laser Tag Gear?

digitalsushi writes "With summer here again our thoughts turn to the outdoors, and for two years, my peers and I have tried to find plans online for augmenting our laser tag gear to make it more realistic. We're not engineers, but also figured it can't be that hard to do something with some kind of infrared laser to decrease the beam width. What other sorts of inexpensive things could be added to our gear to make it more interesting? We're using the popular Laser Challenge V2 kits, but any brand at all would be interesting."

    I thought cops in the US were trained to shoot black people, holding anything.. including, but not limited to: an apple, a set of keys, a wallet, a comb, .. oh yeah a gun.

    Why don't you use real guns instead? Players really die, and that just might add a whole new dimension to the game. After all, when your'e still playing laser tag, what it there to live for anyway.

    Go back to you game of "Magic the Gathering" or EverCrack you dorks.

    And I can see you've never read "How to win friends and influence people", you arrogant fuck.

    OK, so you're not just a gun-nut, you're also paranoid.

    By your comments it seems as if you take your pistol everywhere. I don't see the necessity in that... and just doing it because you can isn't a very good argument. Do you keep a loaded gun under your pillow as well? I don't think I'd want to live in a place where every unbalanced redneck-tinfoilhat-wearing imbecile is carrying a weapon. There's nothing wrong with owning them, but if everyone was carrying it would be a scary place. Check into what the vast majority of police organizations think of concealed weapons... are they "pinko pussy communist(s)"? too?

    Oh, and if I thought you didn't have 5 guns crammed down your crotch (to simulate a normal-sized penis) and one up your ass, I probably would tell you that.

    Fuck-off.

    i fully agree mate. watching these americans and their crazy ass gun fetish is mind blowing. I think its obvious why that country is completely out of control, esp with a madman at the helm.

    I watched bowling for columbine when it aired on TV1, and it all makes sence now.

    crazy assed mofo's if u ask me.

    Yah. Man, I'd love to be in a country whose government feared the people so much they took away their firearms.
