The "laser" on a NiteFinder or Firestrike is simply a red LED. If you switched out the red LED with an IR LED and had it set to emit a pattern of light that would register as a "hit" on a Laser Tag sensor, it would sort of work. The only trouble you'd face then is... well... there's a lot more work and equipment that goes into an overhaul in a NiteFinder or FireStrike to function like that.

For Nerf that's a cool concept.

With Laser Tag, you can increase range with stronger magnification, better IR LEDs, and more power. It's a light-based system, so the further you can send that Infrared Light by focusing it better, making the light stronger and brighter, the better range it will get.Reverendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06237953791786668638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699525663085656463.post-79202808348682076322013-01-05T14:45:38.482-06:002013-01-05T14:45:38.482-06:00Really 1000 feet?

I ...Both of these are really interesting concepts!<br /><br />I think a fun added layer to the Nerf concept would be this: Those wielding the laser tag blasters cannot be wielding a Nerf blaster. That way, you not only have defend your base, but also a portion of your attack crew. <br /><br />Assuming you're having respawns in the game, you could also have a rule where those carrying laser tag blasters must drop their laser tagger before going to their spawn point. Whoever picks it up gets to use it. This could cause some interesting wave effects to the gameplay if teams start hoarding the laser tag blasters.△https://www.blogger.com/profile/10422779112081721673noreply@blogger.com
