Tips & Warnings
You won't be zapped by a real laser. These toys work the same as regular laser taggers, with an infrared light beam, like the one in a TV controller. The shocking stimulator is activated separately and is not a threat to a healthy player.
Shorter, more intense games are better offensively (and more fun!) than longer games that become more focused on avoiding a good shocking. Set the time limit in advance.
Yes, kids, these toys may interfere with Grandpa's pacemaker, seriously.
Use according to game directions, rather than trying to see what else you can shock with your gun handle besides yourself.
These games may use up a lot of AA or AAA batteries. Most units aren't rechargeable.
