Oright troops.

After a ton of effort I've finally got our ammo counter working. We're gonna make it for Android too when we launch the Indiegogo campaign (like kickstarter) so you droid users need not panic.

I've struck a deal with Mars the God of War and he assures me for every like you give our Facebook page you'll be rewarded with a kill in your next skirmish ;-)

I'll post up videos of the badboy working on FB next couple of days.

Cheers!

 
looks nifty, not sure I'd want my phone with me on a skirmish tho.

 
hmm.... does it still count whilst a gun is shooting 50 rps? At that speed... it would just sound like a whirring death blade.

 
Yeah It

Yeah it'll actually do up to a 1000 a second thanks to a fast processor!

 
that's pretty cool, wouldn't personally want to strap my phone to my gun but it's certainly a good concept!

 
I'm more opposed to having a giant rectangle stuck to the side of my gun, it's not exactly high-speed low-drag!

It could serve as extra protection....... shield those bbs from a bit of your left side... i could see that working.

 
Not bad, looks fairly decent, albeit the size. And with the iPhone's camera and sound, might be very good, you never know.

Don't know if you have yet, but make a stress-test video?

 
how are you mounting this? i have had a google, and i can find no RIS mount for a iphone

The case has an arm that attaches directly onto any side mounted picatniny. It'll mount onto any RIS, foot prints pretty small too, will post up a video in a bit showing it inaction

 
nope, as far as I can tell it uses the iPhone's built in penetrating radar to count the amount of BBs in the mag for you.

Cheers for the sarcasm but I actually wondered if the same way it identifies bb' s coming out of the gun it could do it for loading as well.

 
It couldnt tell how many you are loading, because you pour that in with a bottle/speed loader, and sizes of speedloaders/lids of bottles are all diff sizes, also just the fact that it cant listen to how many bbs are in the magazine. It wouldnt be able to tell. ;)

yeh... that is a definite flaw unless you are using midcaps or lows that you defo know the capacity of.
