Cut the crap - Is the Aimtrak any good?
<< < (6/24) > >>
CheffoJeffo:
I can't wait to see all of the people who just wanted a short answer come back bitching and moaning when they can't get it to work the way they want it to.
Ginsu Victim:
Yeah, I mean, if they see all those votes for YES and, at the moment, zero for NO, they had better not buy based on that alone. You've got BamBam over here saying, "I have been sitting on the fence waiting for the short answer," but a short answer is just not possible.
FrizzleFried:
I don't want to make yet ANOTHER post on this topic,  but man,  there is a ton of info to mine through.  I think I've decided to go ahead ad build my own... and I've seen one or two gun build threads... is there a general consensus as to which gun is the most cost-effective and easiest to modify for the Aimtrak?   Anyone done any unique mods with real pellet guns or what not?

Understandable Ginsu, but the poll vote will be enough for me - most people who have bought and voted have experienced and tried to use some other kind of gun technology before, so have a basis for reference. I appreciate that there is no defined answer and everything has a negative side, but if those experienced people are swinging towards 'yes' enough to vote, then I guess I can live with those small flaws.

I managed to get decent calibration with my TopGuns by using the 'shooting outside the four corners' trick, but the reason it sucked was too much IR interference, those unsightly bars and very poor tracking, plus re-calibration was frequently required.

So, if the Aimtrak can be calibrated well by shooting outside the screen as with the TopGuns, but tracks well and doesn't require frequent re-calibration (as I've read) and other's comments are addressed by Andy, I think I'm in. It may mean waiting a month or two before I get one to try, but I think voters so far have enough experience that I can trust their vote, and I certainly wont ---smurfette--- about it if there are a few flaws.
Ginsu Victim:
Just so you know, I'm one of those who didn't vote because I can't tell you yet whether I recommend it or not. I like mine, but it's too early to give an answer. I definitely lean toward YES more than NO.
