Couple important notes about sensors. Those wacky, special electrical
assemblies that allow me to shoot you.
A if more then one sensor is tagged by one shot, it can remove more then one
shield.
B it is possible for sensors to not work
C Its always best to have as few as possible sensors visible to the opponent.
Gun Sensors
On the front of the gun, these sensors make leading with ones gun
dangerous. Often the most receptive sensors.
The Actual Receiver
Looks very similar to the Receiver in the Front/Back Sensors.
Shoulder Sensor
Known for being the least trust worthy sensor, these have an evil habit of
having the IR receivers on the board facing odd directions. End result some
shoulder sensors can only be hit from some angles.
The Actual Receiver
Seen here without the plastic. I don't know what is what on the
circuit.
Front/Back
The only directly lighted sensor, this is often the most obvious thing about
you. Its flash can tell you about the state of the vest. Further if
you can see the sensors lights reflected on a wall, chances are the IR will
bounce off the wall too.... Known for being the more reliable of sensors.
The Actual Receiver
Because of IR's tendency to bounce one may assume that much of the front
sensor panel is capable of receiving IR however it turns out that only the very center actually receives signals. It is often possible to hit the
sides of the front and back sensors and still tag it.
