The crazy people at Waterloo Labs developed a system to play the computer game Half-Life, a First Person Shooter, using accelerometers, drywall and a integrally suppressed Ruger MKIII. A parts list and computer code to build a similar system can be found at Waterloo Labs.

That girl in the beginning was exhibit A. and an example of a lot of the women I dated at UT. A geek, proud of it, kind of cute and thought shooting stuff was cool. God bless Texas. ;D

Notice how many of these 40 year old guys are taking playing with toy guns really seriously.

Everybody else had M4s or MP5s. I got a gas Glock the next time out. Of course we were playing some Japanese and they had M-60s and a few sniper rifles. I ended up with and MP5 and if I got outgunned again I was getting the M134 mini-gun! Once I got back in the States the airsoft stuff just lost its edge since I had the real thing available. I will tell youwhat, those things ARE realistic looking.
