Here some pictures of the build.

Barrel vibration motor.


Reload button on the bottom of the magazine.


Forward and Backward movement buttons.


Need two more buttons and a wireless keyboard and I might be able to finish it.

Thanks guys

Haven't done much since the last update. I've been busy as heck at work.

Today after work I need to stop at RadioShack and pick up a few parts.

I was cleaning up the computer room and came across my old Nintendo zapper. I'm going to use the trigger system for the Game Gun.

All of my gamer friends have been bugging me on this project. I'm hopping to finish it in February.

It's been a while since I last updated this.

The gun is completed and just ordered myself a gyration-mouse for it.

I'm going to make the mouse detectable for another project im working on. The other project is a Head Mounted Monitor. This device will be used for flight sims.

Still trying to work the bugs out. The movement isn't flowing well. If I tilt upwards and then back I go off centered.

I'm glad I used a keyboard controller for the project. Most FPS games don't like to use a gamepad/joystick.

I'm using two games as a test bed. Quake3 and Counter-Strike Source.

I gave up on this project years ago. However since then I am going to tackle it again. Since my kids showed me the Delta six (Rip off of my airsoft's team name) I am going to again try and build my own so I can stick it to the man since the Delta Six is "Open source" yet he offers no code or schmatics.

Anyway, enough ranting. The rifle will be simple. LCD mounted on top with a accelerometer as the movement for looking up/down/left/right. A Ardinuo will be used as the brain of the system.
