You're right, a wider lazer tag-type of beam would work and would certainly travel further, but other than distance, I don't think the advantages would be much greater. Since your target is small and moving, hitting it with something as accurate as a lazer pointer-type beam would be very difficult. If they were any more accurate, it would take some of the fun away, I think. I've been hit from 30 feet away! The units are also designed so that you can avoid a hit if your tank is at certain angles to your enemy, like the incoming round is glancing off of your armor.
If someone is aiming at you within 10 feet of your tank, you can pretty much be sure that you will take a hit.and you only have a few before you are out of the battle. The Tamiya Battle Units are a bit more accurate than you might think. Have you played laser tag? Can you imagine how lame IR tag would be? Just seems like technology has grown by leaps and bounds since the original IR systems were built. Lasers have become so cheap would a laser based system not be comperably priced and offer much greater functionality? Long distance, perfect operation in daylight, requiring actual aiming. Even the new competitors are basing their systems on IR. My question is, why stick with an IR based system? Intrinsically, the light will scatter. But I'm not here to knock it, it's all that exists. I hear it can do better from some of you but I've just never seen it happen. On the 5 vid's I watched, most hits were scored at about 4 feet. Seem to have a range of about 5 feet with the barrel pointing vaguely in the direction of the target tank. Nobody like to get their tanks shot at Watched some battles on utube and I'm not impressed at all. I've been thinking about getting one cuz I can't really battle with my tanks the way they are.
