The Lazer Tag Augmented Reality (LTAR) system, released in August of 2012, has a series of App-based upgrades that can enhance how the blaster performs. The basic blaster has been called the "Quantum" but there are ways that, through using the iOS Device installed with the Lazer Tag App, you can get performance upgrades like rapid fire, better firepower strength, and ammo storage.
To me, having a physical change with the blaster is much more exciting than having the blaster's performance merely change. The blaster has to LOOK the part if it's going to be a little more aggressive. So, I decided to take a cue from the first available upgrade for the Quantum, the Quantum Repeater, and make some physical change to my LTAR's shell to mimick this. While this external modification won't be exactly like the Quantum Repeater's design, It will share many of the same ergonomics and design features. The major overhaul of this design is adding a stock. To be more specific, it's built from the grip and removable stock seen on the Dart Tag Swarmfire.
The main design hurdle to overcome with adding a stock is getting access to the battery cover. Thanks to the removable nature of the rear stock on the Swarmfire, I hope to make removing the batteries pretty flawless, although integrating the two shells to be strong enough to withstand the rigors of combat will be my priority. If I can't find a good way to integrate battery access, I suppose I'll have to live with opening up the blaster every time I need to change batteries which, as long as I put good ones in to begin with, won't be that often anyways.
More to come later!
