The laser skirmish guns shoot harmless beams of infra-red light, they work both indoors and outdoors, make lots of noise and have sensors on the target lighting up to show a ‘hit’. Each hit reduces available health points, until the player gets “killed or retired” from the game.

There are several different weapons on offer including short-range sub-machine guns through to long-range telescopic sniper rifles, each with its own tactics and uses.

Many different tactical missions and scenarios are battled out and are to be won or lost.

Teams must work together on their planning and strategy to achieve their aims and objectives.
