Not sure how it could be used in a larp but fun in it’s own right
Where to?
Only limited by your imagination.
How about this Kill house scenario.
You walk in, alone, in the dark.
You trip the ir beam.
First target pop’s up, a 1ftx1ft square.
Double tap, target down
4 more in this fashion.
Target 6 is triggered by sound, it slowly moves into position.
As you dispatch it, the noise from your shooting activates the other 3 sound triggered ones.
Now to get interesting.
Target 9 is tripped via pir sensor.
It presents itself, starts shooting randomly after 2 secs.
Target 11.
Scan’s the field of view with a narrow pir beam , horizontal and vertical, and and records your position.
Starts shooting at YOU after 2 secs.
Had enough?

The plain 433mhz wireless moduels proved to be too much trouble.
Bring on xBee from maxstream.
Had these stiing around for some time but procrastenated due to them being 3.3v only.
Used a Vreg for power but interfaced IO directly to 5v system via resistors.
Seems to work fine

And we’re OFF
The sound is out of sync for some reason but you get the idea.
Run results.
Program still needs to be debugged, not counting the shots properly.
The shot sensor mounted.
Chose right hand as left hand may be changing mags and could give false triggers.
Next step?
Make them all wireless.
Adds about $40 per target but well worth it
