Overview

About the HOTD4 Mac 10

The House of the Dead 4 gun is styled after a classic Mac 10. You can find these original on Ebay every now and then but there are cheap after market shells available on Aliexpress. The aftermarket shells aren’t as strong and don’t usually include the microswitches needed to get the gun working. But all everything else is there if you use the 3D printable parts, so this is one of the cheapest and most readily available light gun conversions around.

This light gun features a solenoid recoil that opens the bolt when fired, rumble motor, original A button at the front, and a B button with an LED at the back. The trigger action is quite long but uses a satisfying roller microswitch when activated. The conversion uses a 3D printed mock suppressor that can optionally hold a lens, the 3D printed bolt cover, and a 3D printed GX-16 mount.
