AM22-LT «Predator +» PRO Special series

The AM-22 "Predator" Laser tag rifle is a redesigned version of the AK12 also designed for heavy-duty rental conditions.

Here are the main differences between the AM-22 and the classic AK12, which has been sold over 20,000 units and in the arsenals of laser tag business operators in more than 50 countries.

New reloading mechanism.

We made a reload with a charging handle that is also available in the AK15 assault rifle design (which differs in their front parts and Parallax optics). The reloading handle lever is made of softer plastic with an increased viscosity coefficient, which prevents it from breaking even under sudden, harsh movements. Of course, we do not recommend pulling on it with all your might and trying to break it. For those who believe that milliseconds of reloading make the difference in a laser tag battle, we have also retained the old reload button mechanism. This will be very convenient for sports laser tag players and for children. The button is dustproof and installed according to the IP67 standard. The player can use both reload options at the same time.

Magazine

The AM-22 is equipped with a new magazine with a slightly different shape of a fully corrugated body which looks more akin to modern AK-series magazines. As before, part of the electronics are housed in specially designed locations in these magazines. In addition to the usual taggers electronics , this magazine has a special acoustic socket that produces a loud sound even without acoustic holes, which additionally protects the tagger electronics from moisture and dirt.

Trigger system

This is one of Laserwar’s most interesting innovations . We have almost completely eliminated possible failures in the trigger system of the tagger. In this laser tag gun, we have abandoned the use of a microswitch, which, although a fairly reliable component, can still fail over time, especially as a result of operation in wet conditions.

We now use non-contact trigger, which means it is not dependent on weather conditions or mechanical wear and tear on components. The trigger is now based on a Hall effect sensor and a neodymium magnet.

Now the trigger can work for decades, simply because there is nothing to break. The same trigger system is used in our AK15.

Everything else has the same advantages as the time-honored AK12 has.

Housing and electronics

The same decade-proven housing, molded from weapon-grade high-viscosity impact-resistant amorphous polymer, which can withstand both strong impacts and extreme temperature and adverse weather conditions. As we say in Laserwar, you'd rather lose it than break it. See more crash tests here.

Like the AK12, this tagger can only be fitted with the Prism optic, which,many operators feel is more suitable for rental conditions as it has a wider beam, which makes it easier for beginners to aim and hit. At the same time, the hit range is up to 820 feet (250 meters) at maximum power settings. However, the beam is adjustable, so operators can use this system at minimum power settings when running sports laser tag tournaments.

The tagger can be equipped with any generation of integrated electronics (9th RGB offline generation, which is optimal for large outdoor locations, X-generation, which is best for the arena, and Alphatag generation, which is ideal for military simulation).

The upper Picatinny rail is designed for mounting optical/telescopic and collimator/red dot sights, while the tagger by default has a front sight and a rear sight. The lower rail is designed to accept a foregrip, which is already included in the basic option, as well as underbarrel grenade launchers, and tactical lights.

The tagger is equipped with a 2.2 amp-hour lithium-ion battery, which allows the owner to play for up to 36 hours without recharging, depending on the use of the online Wi-Fi scoring system and feedback simulation. However, optionally, the gun body can be fitted with either an extra battery, increasing the total operating time to 72 hours, or a weighting unit that increases the overall weight of the weapon.

As an option, this tagger can also be fitted with a special rubberized protective bumper, which is available in a range of colors which not only makes the game safer, but also allows the players to identify the color of the opposing team from a distance.

Feedback and OLED options are also available for this laser tag gun.
