Gamer builds ‘hardcore’ first-person shooter simulator that actually shoots back — gaming PC also has real weather effects

A gamer has created a first-person shooter simulator that enhances realism by shooting back at the player using pyrotechnics and electrical shocks. The setup includes a gun contraption that delivers recoil, a rainstorm simulation, and an electrical device that zaps the player's limbs when they take damage in the game. While the rig is not practical due to the need to reload fireworks and the potential danger of the electrical shocks, it has garnered admiration from the gaming community, including a comment from Elon Musk. This extreme gaming setup is part of a trend where gamers push the boundaries of realism with elaborate simulators, such as tank rigs and jet fighter setups.
