Smallest Positional Gun

[rdagger]

I want to add positional guns to my cab, but most of the ones I've seen are too big to fit my design.

It I that have the answer you seek....

But sometimes the answer is not the one you want.

This is a positional gun for the Atari 2600:

It has a small footprint, that can be made much smaller. (You don't need the built-in sound effects and lights, right?)
 You will have to hack it a bit to get two buttons on there, as it comes standard with one. You can even replace the "gun" it has on it with an airsoft gun to make it more wieldy as long as you are wiring the buttons anyway.

Now to interface i am sure the AKI board would work, but for Atari 2600 controllers there is a quicker fix:

Unfortunately, not the one I want.
I'd like a gun the looks and feels real.

Yeah I figured.

Or if you want something super-nice, and unique:

A little pricey, but very cool.

You got it. As soon as my cable comes in for my digital camera I will post a walkthrough on how I did the hack, along with notes on what I would do different, knowing now, what I didn't then.

knowing now, what I didn't then.

Did you sustain a good whack to the head?

No, but I have a better idea of the pitfalls, looking back. I would just use an Aki board this time around and be done with it, instead of the Atari converter, then a second button going through the IPac...sort of a mess the way it is, when I could have done a much cleaner job, looking back.
