ABSTRACT:
An electronic system especially advantageous for use in a shooting gallery of the type in which the guns project beams of light instead of bullets employs an electronically gated target polling systems to enable each fired gun to be credited unambiguously with a score based on which target, if any, is struck by the gun fired. All the photosensors on the targets are polled during a particular very short time interval after any of the guns has been triggered; extraneous light occurring at other times is not registered. When a gun is fired, the system initiates generation of cosmetic action such as recoil, simulated explosion, and ricochet sound, and the system decrements a rounds remaining counter. When a target hit is registered, the system initiates target effects, and increments a score counter associated with the gun fired by a target-dependent amount. A large number of guns and targets can be accommodated.
