| Lasertag is a team based activity where you win by completing mission objectives. The primary
piece of equipment you use to help you achieve your mission objectives are the lasertag guns.
Each player is issued with a lasertag gun, camoflague coveralls and a hat or cap, depending on which
team you are on.

Perth Laser Sports has three models in it's armoury:
Perth Laser Sports has extended it's armoury with these specialised models:
 |
The BFG Machine gun.This model is outfitted with both a telescopic site and a red dot site. |
< |
The PLS50 Sniper. Outfitted with a telescopic site and a long focal length lens, this unit has an extended range.
Silenced, the opposition won't know where they are being shot from. This model has a 10 shot clip and operates in single shot
mode. |
Each lasertag gun is
fitted with either a red dot 'fast target acquisition' sight
or a telescopic sight. The red dot sight has the advantage of being
easy to use for 'point and shoot' in close quarters combat. The telescopic
sight has the advantage of being more precise for log distance shooting
and 'sniping'.
Each gun is configurable
with from 1 to 99 hit points. Each time you are shot, you lose a hit
point (life). The number of hit points issued to players by a marshal
at the beginning of a game varies from mission to mission. When you
lose all of your hit points a voice from your gun will exclaim "aarh!",
a sensor that you wear on a cap on your head will flash, and a
display on your gun will tell you that you are 'dead'. Guns are reset
at the start of each mission by a marshal.

There are
2 sensors attached via a cable to the gun, these sensors are worn
by the player on a cap. The sensors can detect the infra-red pulse
from another gun in a 180 degree arc, so you can effectively be shot
in the head from 360 degrees. There is also a sensor on the front
of your gun. When shooting at an opponent, you aim for the front
of their gun, or their head.
When you
pull the trigger, the gun emits an infra-red beam detectable by the
sensors worn by the other players, and your display indicates you
have one shot less in your clip. When you reach 10 shots left in
the clip, a voice from the gun warns you that you are low on ammo.
The gun makes a clicking sound when you have run out of shots. To
reload you press the forward button under the carry handle. There
is a 6 second reload time, and when you are shot and lose a hit point,
your gun will be disabled for 3 seconds.
