Halo Battle and Assault Style Toys With Realistic Firing.

Based on the Halo 3 Battle and Assault weapons, outline 1:1 scaled to what Halopedia determine as the correct dimensions.

Car locking solenoids for sound/vibration, white and yellow phased LEDs for muzzle flash, 36 and 32 rounds ammo counter and realistic rounds per minute.

Sorry this is an old project, I had a look through my old stuff and I think this should be a working example.

I could not access your website. Is there any other website that I can go to for the CCS C source code?

[Quin5]

I'm looking to purchase a lazertag system to start a lazertag business,
would you be able to produce or lead me to the guns and equipment I need
that would be safe and certifiable, that would be a cheaper option than
the $600/gun price range that I've seen advertised by the lazertag
manufacturers? email if so at [e-mail]

[tinker234]

wow please send me the scemitac for this

[SonicX 22]

dude you are so lucky you know how to make all that electric crap

i really want an Electric Energy Sword so bad but im not smart enough XD

and :( :(

[tinker234]

hey listen make a engry sword out of clear plastic tubes then just wire up batterys to leds or el wire and thats all

[FightingDrag]

While this is very nice, im a newbie to some of the stuff on the new site, can you edit the text on the page and give a small step by step on what we should be reading and looking at? i cant find material lists or anything

[xbox1kid]

i hve the same scope

[Morningshadows]

It would've been better if you rounded the top of the assault rifle, but none the less, it's still awesome!

[Morningshadows]

CAN  HAS HAO TO?!?!!?!?!?!

[Ward_Nox]

a step by step would be apriciated ... i bet you could rig it to work w the covenant lazer tag weapons

[xjr]

I will try and put something together. I am not familiar with the exact equipment of the covenant laser tag, but these systems are generally very simple. You would need to examine the serial data transmitted via the laser. Some time ago I built an experimental "sniper rifle" with scope. It fired an encoded laser at a "target" consisting of rotating photo diodes. The software tried to account for theoretical wind and gravity, of course these did not effect the laser, but we tried to simulate what would be happening to a projectile. I had it working over distances of half a mile. The project returned data over a radiolink.

[Landon Sullivan]

Frakkin sweet.

[PKTraceur]

What kind of Photo-Diodes dis you use? Do you have schematics? What kind of laser with what kind of power source? Was the "Working distance" the laser, or projectile? Did it actually shoot the diodes? How? -RoAr

[xjr]

I am sorry that was a commercial project, and I can not expand on it here.

[Thundertydus]

The covenent tag system is easy, i modded a few nerf guns to work with them, i just took a few broken parts and some spare IR leds and soldered them to a momentry switch on the trigger =D

[Ward_Nox]

covenant as in the aliens from halo

[Landon Sullivan]

Instructable, please.

[cyro12]

wow thats realy cool :P

[Phil Truman]

You should definitely make a how-to.
