Is there anyway I could make the button on the side of the gun automatic so I don't have to constantly hit the button to throw CD'S? Relay? Somebody had to think it before me.If youv'e ever played this game for more than 15 minutes straight you know it cramps the thumb.
 
auto

automatic...you would constantly run out of CD's and hitting alot of nothing. You could add a 556 and pulse the CD launch button,so that it would multi throw CD's. One push of the side button = say for instants 3 physical button pushes. Like a 3 round burst on a M16 verses the single shot mode or the full auto mode.

I like that idea better with the 3 pulses.Where can I this 556 you speak of?
 
You can get them at any major electronics place, Mouser, Digikey, MCM. It will take some passives to get them to do the triple pulse, but it is pretty simple.

Do a search for a 555 tutorial online. A 556 is just a pair of 555s in a single package.

I have a Rev X let me take a look this week. I think you could get by with using a counter chip(74ls393) that drives a transistor(2N222) verses a 555 0r 556. Have to experiment a bit but it would definitely save you from a soar hand. You would have to find the right pulse.
