Equipment... Among other things

Hi All<br><br>Graham (and all those concerned) I
will be at the Doncaster Event. My form went off on
Saturday PM but I missed the last post... It's what you
get for living in the back of beyond, a patchy postal
system.<br><br>In respect to equipment, there are several groups,
both here in the UK and also in the US who manufacture
WOW compatible weaponry and sensors. These range from
simple circuits to fitted into your own frame (Buy a VE
Barracuda frame when they're built!!!!) and these range
from GBP 15 for a simple circuit to GBP lots for one
that has specialist functions such a .wav sound
capability.<br><br>Sensor kits can be obtained for around GBP 20 but both
these, and the gun circuits require some ability with a
soldering iron. I have one sat waiting to be built
now.<br><br>The alternative is to buy ready made kit. the
cheepest sensors I have seen ran at around GBP 30 but this
was for orders of 10 or more. Good if you're starting
a club but less so if you're just kitting yourself
out. <br><br>Guns range from (and I'm quoting a single
supplier here so the prices may vary) GBP 65 for a pistol
based on a Nintendo Predator (Judge Dread Pistol) to a
few hundred for a state of the art rifle / GPMG. My
rifle cost GBP 165 when I bought it 2 years ago and is
more than suitable for purpose. That included the
battery, Red Dot sight and the gun. <br><br>If you want
contact details for any of the people whom I know build
kit contact me off list and I'll see what I can do.
Alternativly join the United Kingdom Lazer Tag Confederation
Yahoo Group (listed as uklazertag and uklazertag-news)
and ask there. many nice people will be able to give
you more information than you could ever
want.<br><br>I hope this has answered more questions than it has
raised and that it hasn't bored you all silly.
<br><br>SKP<br><br>"Remember, wounds heal, chicks dig scars and glory lives for
ever... Charge!!!!"
