J44 outlines his steps for converting a basic gaming light gun into a custom Laser Tag-like system, including gun and head mounted ‘hit’ detectors (a la Photon) –

I hope many of you will find this instructable useful and will go on to build your own duino taggers. There is much scope for improving and upgrading this system outlined here. If you do go on to improve on this duinotagger please share your work and hopefully in time the system will evolve into a much richer gaming experience.

The system is designed to be compatible with the DIY MilesTag system. Check out the project’s instructable for full details.
