Long Range Standard Lock On Gun:

I designed the prototype a while back, then I went on to build the Dajki II which is based on the shape of the prototype. Eventually I got back to the original project and here it is!

The purpose of this project was to create a long range weapon which was easy to construct and did not require the builder to remove the electronics, mount switches, house batteries, speaker etc. The original pistol is only lightly modified and can easily be put back into it's original configuration.

This picture shows all most of the parts used in the construction of this gun. PVC pipe is used for the lens assembly, aluminium channel for the top rail, a wooden stock and metal brackets to hold parts in place.

The sight posts of the pistol are positioned into two slots cut into the aluminium channel, this provides a level top rail. An aluminium bracket is used to secure the pistol to this rail and there is almost no movement of the pieces once they are together. Another bracket holds the base of the stock to the end of the pistol handle. As usual PVC pipe is used to house the glass lens and emitter. The wires to the IR LED are replaced with longer ones (around 150mm) and the lens is removed from the pistol. The new wires run through the bottom hole in the front of the gun. The PVC pipe fits into the aluminium channel and a large section is cut out of the pipe to allow for the end of the pistol.

Of course the end result is up to the builder, a vertical handle could be built onto the front, the stock can be a different shape or foldable/collapsable or even non existent! The choice is there.
