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."

Re:How about.. - you call that accurate ???

They are also fairly accurate. My M-4 can hit 40 out of 40 at about 20 meters. While not as impressive as paintball accuracy, it gives the game a more in-your-face feel. My psg-1 can hit from 100 meters fairly well...depending on wind.

With an M-16 I can hit 2/3 targets at 300M, and 4/5 targets at 250M, and frankly I didn't miss under 250. I wouldn't be bragging at hitting things at 20 meters, that isn't even a challenge (the 1/2 height "close" targets on the range are at 50M)

But you did say you wanted "in your face", yeah - but I prefer a kill from afar
