Customers have also had success installing in airsoft and paintball.<\/p>\n<p>This ammo counter is small enough to be added to a variety of builds. I have have been making Ammo Counter Kits since 2009 and have sold hundreds of circuit kits. I pride myself on making the smallest available ammo counter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Includes:<\/strong><br \/>\n* Ammo Counter Circuit<br \/>\n* 3xAAA Battery Holder<br \/>\n* Lever Switch<\/p>\n<p>The battery and switch will be pre-wired for you. A solder iron is still recommended so you can adjust the wire lengths in your build.<\/p>\n<p>Tutorial: <a href=\"https:\/\/westabyelectronics.com\/tutorials\/installing-an-ammo-counter.html\">https:\/\/westabyelectronics.com\/tutorials\/installing-an-ammo-counter.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p><strong>FAQ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>* Do I want a Lever Switch or Optical Sensor? That depends on your project. The optical sensor works best for full auto low speed projectiles, like nerf. The lever switch only works for semi-auto, but is much more reliable at counting small high speed shots.<\/p>\n<p>* Can I wire the ammo counter into my blaster&#8217;s battery pack? Yes. Add a note to your order, request a step down voltage circuit instead of the included 3xAAA battery pack.<\/p>\n<p>* How do I attach the color sheet to my display? Recommended method is to laminate with clear packing tape or pinch within a bezel. 3D Models below.<\/p>\n<p>* Can I have clip detection? Typical usage is to let the Ammo Counter auto-reload, or press either button to reset. However, Yes, there is an unwired connector that will reset the ammo counter when shorted. Recommend using a Normally Closed Reed Switch with a magnet in the clip.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Features:<\/strong><br \/>\n* Smallest Ammo Counter Circuit!<br \/>\n* Selectable Clip Sizes 6, 10, 12, 15, 18, 22, 25, 35.
