AimTrak Recoil Project

[RageOn]

Hey All,

I thought a few of you might be interested in the AimTrak recoil lightgun I've made. I managed to find a Cybergun Desert Eagle .50 AE on ebay for £7 and decided to gut it and fit my new AimTrak recoil kit inside instead of buying another housing. Took a bit of soldering as I had to desolder the camera part in order to fit it in the barrel but it came out quite well. I also managed ti fit the solenoid in a great place for the recoil action to pull the top part of the gun back after I figured a way to attach it. Here are a few pics of the finish gun (sorry about the quality, its my rubbish phone)

Great work - love the option of power cord or not.

Didn't include the recoil, but LG build one of my early projects.... how you getting on with emulator setups for LG games !?! PCSX2 was a dirty word for weeks.

What power supply are you using for your AimTrack Recoil? I've never found one strong enough to provide full power to the solenoid.

I had been using a 20 volt but then found a 24 volt and the difference was impressive, would really like to find one closer to the 36 volt maximum supported.

Just reading on the BYOAC forum and it seems some people are using 36v 3a without any problems, these are pretty cheap on eBay so I'll pick one up and see how it goes.

Previously I had been looking for 36v 5a but these are few and far between and cost over £100
