SeattleLazertag Club Custom Guns
 
 
Tree Mounted Sentry Gun    
This sentry gun is used to direct long-rangefire into a specific area such as an opponents sniper nest or doorway. The gun has a clamp for mounting to trees,  a 2" dia lens, and homemadeWoW Lazertag compatible electronics with 4-hour rechargable NiCad batteries. The sentry gun fires twice per second, and can be aimed in any direction. It has a range of 800ft so it can be located far from the target makingit very hard to find and deactivate.  A small dovetail scope mounthas been added for a red-dot aiming sight.

Here is a FRS 2 mile radio headset  modificationthat has been done to many of our players headsensors.   We boughtseveral "ear bud" boom mics  from http://www.allelectronics.com andinstalled them.  Most of the players have a push button on their gunsto transmit.
This is an old radio and gun design.  Wehave gone with the new FRS 2 mile radios for our club instead of the old49 MHz radios.  Pictures to come soon!

Comments: Sold 1995
Doug Ross has started working on a new productline of  full-sized pulse rifle replicas where the grip unlocks anddetaches to become a short-ranged pistol.  The pistol will containall of the electronics for both guns.   This highly-detailedpulse rifle/pistol combination (complete with WoW Lazertag and Laser Challengecompatible electronics) is designed especially for players who are newto the U.S. and U.K. roleplay and scenario tag games where both a short-rangepistol and long-range rifle are usually required.   By minimizingelectronics, it offers a less expensive means of acquiring a completelybuilt premium pistol and rifle. Doug probably won't know the price of thegun until he gets a little further on the project, but he will try to minimizecosts.   

 

With the pistol seperated from the rifle, thepistol can fire only single shot  with a  range of approx. 300ft.  When the pistol is installed  into the rifle, the riflewill be able to fire at full-auto with ten 99 round clips.  The riflewill have a seperate 2" dia. lens assembly and emmitter located withinthe rifle foregrip as well as realistic amplified firing sound.  Therange of the rifle will be approx. 800-1000 ft.  Both the pistol andthe rifle will be made from durable fiberglass and epoxy resin.  Currently,the latex molds from these guns are about 60% complete.  I try towork on the molds as often as I can  when I'm not working 8 hrs. aday as an Engineer.  I'm hoping to have a picture of the prototypeon this page soon.
Name: "The Devistator" Landmine     

This Lazertag compatible landminewas made from a converted Infrared Headphone unit.  It contains powerfulhomemade electronics and a 6V 750 milliamp cellphone NiCad pack in thebase.  There are six 600 mW LEDs located in the extended emitter section. The emitter can be positioned at any angle and can rotate 360 degrees. This puppy is deadly up to a range of 30 ft.  The landmine has a modulardesign in that a motion sensing module can be attached or a radio contolledtrigger can be used, otherwise the landmine pulses continuously when switchedon to flood an area with infrared.

Disarm Control Panel     
A control panel was designed for a scenario gamecalled "The Rock" based on the movie staring Sean Connory and Nicolas Cage. This scenario involves a group of American Commandos who are trying towipe out  terrorists who have taken over Alcatraz Prison off the coastof California, USA .  These terrorists are threatening to launch biologicalwarfare missiles at San Fransisco if the demands of money and the releaseof a General aren't met.  There are four switches located on the frontof the panel which allow for 16 possible combinations, each switch beingup or down.  Two codes can be programmed into the control panel, alaunch code and a disarm code.   The key switch (lower left ofthe panel) is required to activate the switches so that a code may be entered. This option allows the key to be hidden elsewhere in the game area. 
 
 (The key can be attached to the black locatorbox (shown to the left) which flashes a light and quietly beeps.) Generally one terrorist has the launch code and one has the disarm code.If the commandos can find the key, but cannot kill the terrorists and obtainthe codes, a commando may try randomly entering codes into the panel. This must be done before the countdown timer reaches zero and launchesthe missiles. 
 
With time running out, this may be the only option. During one of our games, one of our players disarmed the missiles withonly 11 seconds to spare by entering  random codes.  An amplifiedspeaker on the side of the control panel plays a digitized voice of "Disarmed"or "Missiles Launched" when the right code is entered.  A recent modificationhas been made to launch a small model rocket when the launch code is enteredor if the timer goes to zero.
 
 
 
This gun was created by Jeff, one of our longest-timetag players.  This gun has a 2" dia.  lens and barrel. The lens is only a few inches from the front of the Survivor Shot insidethe tube.   Jeff added a long cowling beyond the lens to minimizespread and produce a very tight beam so that he can surgically hit targetswhich are close to each other at long distances.  Jeff has gottenreally good at "shooting from the hip" with this gun even though it hasa very narrow beam.
