In this article, you will read about laser tag and learn more about the superiority of this system over similar sports such as airsoft and paintball.
Costs
Lasertag equipment has no hidden or fixed costs because you only use electricity to charge the equipment and it is ready to use. Other similar sports will cost a lot to operate the system compared to Lirtag.
For example, you have to pay for paintball or airsoft ammo per game, which is free for lasertag because it only uses lasers as ammo. Also, the cost of maintenance or replacement of parts in airsoft and paintball systems is also very high.
Weather Conditions
All shooting sports can be played outdoors as well as indoors, but certain conditions may be required. Most laser tag equipment is manufactured with the ability to play in harsh environments and is usually water resistant (not all equipment may be) and can be used in light rain/snow.
This may not be possible for airsoft and paintball as they use projectile ammunition and are affected by weather. Also, some equipment may get wet and not work properly.
Enjoy the game more
Since laser tag equipment is all electronic devices that are connected wirelessly, the possibility of adding additional features for players and gameplay scenarios is much more extensive than in other similar games and sports.
Honesty of the game
Lasertag systems use a computer system as a referee to control and automatically send scores to players and teams, which is undeniable.
In paintball, players hit colored balls that explode on impact, but it may not always work because if there is not enough power, they may not explode. Also, players can clean colors easily without anyone noticing.
Scoring in airsoft only depends on the honesty of the player and there is no way to tell if someone has been shot because even if the referee suggests someone has been shot (which may also involve human error) there is nothing to prove.
safety
The infrared lasers used in laser tag weapons are standard and unlikely to harm anyone, but this is not the case with other shooting sports, as they fire high-velocity projectiles that are unprotected (and in some cases even protected) on impact. pass) may cause serious damage. You may have heard that paintball and airsoft players are constantly bruised and bleeding in every game.
firing range
As you may know, laser tag weapons use infrared (IR) laser beams instead of projectile ammunition, this helps laser tag weapons to have a very long firing range. Lasertag weapons may engage targets over 500 meters in the dark and up to 300 meters in daylight.
But other systems that use projectiles have a much shorter range of fire because they may use air pressure or electronic motors to fire the projectile.
