Cannibalism at it's finest

It's no secret that I used to run a laser gun club on campus. So you must be asking yourself, our avid readers, what has become of my old guns? Great question!

We're cannibalizing them

Om nom nom.

My original plan was to simply sell them, but they are getting old, very banged up and a tad unreliable. Even if I was to find a seller, I would only maybe get $60, maybe $100? for the whole set.

However these guns already have buttons, good IR sensors, great emitters, tons of leds, and speakers. Seeing as I was only expecting 6-10 dollars per gun, the easy access of these parts (plus the shells!) plus the cost of the parts easily makes it the better choice to consume them.

Hongwei already has made great progress using these new parts, as we were having interference with the other parts we purchased.
