So my wife bought me an AimTrak...now I need a gun!
KonkeyKong:
Be careful with cheap airsoft guns. I learned the hard way. Really shoddy construction/manufacturing. On one I ordered even the trigger was hollow on back to cut down on plastic. One good pull and it snaped like a cornchip. Right now I'm working on converting some Nerf guns. Quite rugged and enough room to park a small car inside. Plus the trigger mechs are well suited for triggering a variety of switch types.

Care to share some of the models you're working with?
KonkeyKong:
Right now I'm working with the Recon model as it is extremely versatlie. All interchangeble parts for pistol or rifle action. The inside pic shows all of the gutted parts covered in purple. The blue line is a channel where a leaf switch tucks right behind the trigger with no mods necessary. I'm pretty sure the aimtrak will fit in the orange nose piece, although I haven't tried it yet because I don't own an aimtrak... yet. The handel will accomodate a couple batteries with a little cutting. The batteries will provide a little heft as well as power for a coulple bling lights and buttons. I've also got one where I cut the majority of the lower front section off and it looks like a groovy anime' style .44 cal. As I get some decent pics I'll try to start a project thread.

That's a nice candidate too! I have that one, the Strike Force, and a Vulcan (unless you're Stallone or Schwarzenegger these are WAY to big to play for hours at a time!)
KonkeyKong when you get that puppy modded start up a thread and make sure you have lots of pics! :)

I also really like that idea. You might even be able to use the magazine eject button as a button.
I bought 3 of those guns last year. One for each of my nephews.
From what I remember the gun had a good feel to it AND I like that it can be a rifle, assault shot gun or a pistol. If you can get it working with the rifle barrel attached, I'd be using that for a shell.
