I just installed PC10 with Blue Zapper (VS.) and plugged in and it looks good. I fired up DUCK HUNT game in PC10 and i was able to play and I START SHOOTING. I could see the white blinks everytime I shoot. I cant kill. It would blink blink blink fly away!
blink blink blink fly away.

somethign wrong with wiring or sensor? or ? etc

LMK thanks in advance
 
Is your monitor behind tinted plexi?

Clean the optic sensor in the gun, and you may need to turn up the brightness on the monitor. It is also possible that the gun optic has stopped working.
 
Could be lots of reasons. Oryk has the right idea. But I would try removing the glass first and holding the gun close if it works then it could be the brightness needs to be turned up, or the glass is scratched, dirty, have glare. If thats not it then it can be the sensor.

There seems to be people on the fence as well about VS. guns working with Playchoice.
 
Guys thanks for the troubleshooting guns.

I had decided to remove the bezel / anything that covers monitor and it s showing bright enough I can see.

I start shooting.. NO LUCK.. it s like no bullet but can hear BANG BANG!.

I decide to swap different gun Blue to Pink and getting same result.

SIghhhhH!!!!..

Does PC10 Harness plugs in Vs. Zapper GUN same wiring pin out? or need to swap something to make it compatible?
 
anybody? I already pm to that person and didnt hear from him yet. I wanted to fix this and ready by saturday.

anybody knows.. please shoot me here or pm thanks

The pinouts should be the same for the guns. They are completely cross compatible as far as I know. In fact, I didn't think there were different guns for each.

I have a pink gun, and when I got it, we were using it on a Playchoice, and when I got it home, I hooked it up to the Vs (with the adapter piece)

The instructions do say you have to have the monitor super bright.

This isn't about the exact topic, but it could help you understand it better, and maybe help a little:
