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."
How about electrodes that give you a slight (or not so slight) shock when you get shot. Try using Nural Stimulators, used for testing if muscle relaxers are still working on patients in surgery.
Hrrm... I usually just sign my name.
Why not make it so when someone gets hit with the beam, they get a nice 9V shock, that'll teach them to get in the way of the beam, and it'd make the game more...interesting!
Some old geeks running around with laser tag shit shooting each other? Get some paintball guns and stop playing with your thilly lathers.
