is AimTrak the only way to go ?
« on: August 24, 2014, 10:22:36 am »
is AimTrak gun the only way to go if you want to have a game where you shoot people in the pc .. ?
i mean .. in the video games you get to play with big guns as well.. as small guns... and the AimTrak is only in one machine as i remember..
are there no other cheaper alternatives ? that looks just as good or better ?

You can always check out Act Labs, but they are becoming obsolete quickly:

There's also arcadeguns.com - But they use Aimtraks.

the think i saw is that you could.. (in theory)
buy tthe
"AimTrak Light Gun OEM Electronics Kit"
and that's maybe the main thing about the gun...
and then just buy a toy replica of an m-4 or somthing
somthing like that >

and then somehow to mount the OEM in side the replica ?
and maybe in some wiered way to wire the trigger to operate it ?
or is it a really bad idea ?

they sell the guts so you can put put them in any shell you want.  I have an AIMTrack inside a lethal enforcer's blue gun
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

well the gun mine is in IS a light gun, so the trigger was obvious.  If you're going to try and put the guts in a non lightgun shell, then thats a whole other ball of wax.  Im sure you can email andy for any help.

There are probably half a dozen examples on here if you take the time to search for them.

i mean i guess in theory you cold just by the aimtrack gun.. (the complete one) and then
take the machenizem from inside, including the trigger, and shoehow mount it on a new plastic gun ...

i wish i coul just use a light gun .. but i want somthing more like an assault rifle.. and less like a handgun. ..
and there isn't any assault rifles in this kind...

I don't think extended playtime with an assault rifle style gun would be comfy, and it cuts down on the the ability to "John Woo" it.  :afro:

The gun you linked above has *some* kind of electronic switch activated by the trigger.  :dunno

well it woul'd be fun though.. no ?
isn't fun the whole purpose of this ?
i mean.. i will like maybe a set of two.. one gun.. and one pistol..
but i think that a gun is kinda of a must here for a gun realistic game expriance

yea i don't think i'll want that exact gun..
just really any kind of a realistic looking assault rifle that is in normal length... not too short that it won't feel like a toy ...

1 - Buy an electric airsoft rifle
2 - cut out all the electronics except the trigger
3 - install the aimtrack in it, connecting it to the existing trigger wiring
4 - drill some holes in the gun and add a few more buttons for good measure
5 - wire them up to the aimtrak
6 - add some weights inside the gun until it feels right. You can buy lead in a coil at any fishing store, just spool it around inside the gun and slop some hot glue on it to keep it moving around

OR

1 - pay me a lot of money to do it for you

Some black paint and it could be beautiful

Google airsoft aeg + whatever shape gun you want.

i think the gun you showed in here is graet !
i mean it has a scope and everything... and with a little paint help it could look the part...
not too realistic but realistic enough for the game...
you think though that i would be able to connect a recoil kit and the trigger to it ?

Open gun shell, install cherry switch to be hit by trigger pull, install aimtrak guts and done.  Have mine installed in sega house of the dead guns. works great.
