If this works how I think it should, all players would have an iPhone or something in the gun. All guns would know where they were pointing thanks to accelerometer, compass and gyroscopes. If all devices were linked up over radio such as bluetooth or wifi, then players would know when they’ve been hit and shut down the gun. Very cool.
