FAQ's
General Questions:
Q: Will it work with my phone?
A: Standard mode (shooting the stationary paper targets) should work with any smartphone purchased in the last 5 years. However Arcade mode (moving targets on a projector screen) requires some more features. Click here to take a quiz to see if it's compatible with your phone: Compatibility Quiz
Q: Will it work with my TV?
A: Unfortunately, a TV is too bright for the phone to pickup the laser shots so a TV will not work.
Q: Will my existing projector work?
A: We recommend you get a projector with at least 3,000 lumens. However, we recommend even more. The more lumens you get, the brighter the room can be when you practice. At 3,000 lumens, the room needs to be fairly dark for the camera to track the targets. At 8,000 lumens you can see your gun sights bright and clear.
Q: Can the Yankee Thunder Straight Shooter laser hurt eyes?
A: Yes! Please don’t ever point the laser at anyone’s eyes.
Q: My laser cartridge won’t slide into the chamber. How can I get it to go in?
A: You can use a small amount of gun oil to lubricate the O rings and then it should load in smoothly.
Q: Can I load the Yankee Thunder Straight Shooter laser cartridge from a magazine?
A: No-o. DO NOT load the laser cartridge from a magazine. That may result in damage to your firearm and the laser cartridge. (This will void the warranty.)
Q: I just loaded a brand new Yankee Thunder laser cartridge, and it won’t work.
A: Usually removing the cartridge and rotating it ⅛-¼ turn will solve the problem. Make sure it is pushed completely into the chamber.
Q: How can I remove the Yankee Thunder laser cartridge from the chamber?
A: Easy! Push the Straight Shooter laser cartridge out with the included laser cartridge removal rod. Or use a cleaning rod, the eraser-end of your favorite pencil or a handy screwdriver.
Q: Will this laser cartridge damage my firearm’s firing pin?
A: No. The cartridge has a soft rubber button on the end that absorbs the firing pin impact so the firing pin doesn’t get damaged. The Yankee Thunder Straight Shooter laser cartridge will not damage your firearm.
