First See Pic. No, Its not a real gun, but rather a BB gun I bought myself. Obviously enough it Looks Kinda SciFi-ish. So To make it more cooler, I thought of adding a Ammo Counter using 2 Seven Segment Displays. I have thought of 2 ways; One involves Using a Optical Sensor on the Trigger and the 2nd Involves some kind of sensor on the end of the barrel (probably capacitive- However The End of the Barrel is pretty thick about 1/4 inch. The Gun uses Lead Pellets, Not steel BB's). The Trigger Pulls all the way back to where it ends when firing.
Any Other suggestions? I have the counting circuits mentally figured out, Its just How to sense when a Pellet is fired. The Clip can hold 12 Rounds. To reset the counter when I am finished, I figure just press a button some where hidden on the rifle.
And Id rather not take it apart either...Oh, Its also Semi Auto and almost no recoil
And if your also wondering where everything is going to be mounted, The LED display will be mounted Just behind the Rear Sights, and the Circuitry (which will be SMD) will also be housed there. The battery will be housed in the butt of the gun (probably will be those small round batteries that go in laser pointers)
