NES Light Zapper- Repeating Shotgun Hack

Update 6-6-09: Version 2 (of the video) is underway. Higher quality, and comedy are included free of charge. Stay tuned for the updated version with better test video, among other things.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What happens when you feel compelled to hack your NES light zapper? You get the Zapper Shotgun- an old toy shotgun, with the sensor board from a Zapper, a breadboard with a 555 timer... all rolled into one.

This is simply the prototype version of the Zapper Shotgun. It fires off all three bullets (if you play duck hunt) in rapid succession, when you hold down the trigger. Because of the new casing, the bullets have a shotgun effect, covering a larger portion of the screen than the original zapper.

Building semi-useless stuff is fun.

You hit the nail on the head.

you need to learn how to hold a gun properly, cause its almost funny looking at how high you hold your elbow.

A: its a toy gun, not a real one; therefore, proportions aren't quite good enough for me to hold it comfy. If it were real, I would be holding it properly. B: its a prototype, so the gun's normal trigger isn't the one to activate the repeater. The switch is mounted on the side of the stock, for the moment.
