Many people have thought about purchasing a few of the popular recoil blasters for themselves or perhaps for their children. A common question among prospective buyers is, “Does recoil laser tag require a phone?”
At this time, the recoil laser tag system requires a phone for the RK-45 Spitfire pistol and the SR-12 Rogue rifle. Out of the box, these recoil laser tag blasters cannot be used without a phone without further modification and the two mentioned probably never will.
Here today, we are going to go over a list of the many smartphones that are currently confirmed to be compatible with the recoil laser tag system. I will also review the system requirements for the intended device that make the recoil laser tag system work the way that it does.

Now the thought may have already come across your mind, “Do I REALLY need a smartphone to use the recoil laser tag system? Or is there a workaround that they just are not talking about?” The reality is that the recoil laser tag system does, in fact, require a smartphone to use it, and here is the reason why.
The creators designed the recoil laser tag system (Recoil Laser Compat SR-12 & Recoil Laser Combat RK-45) with the express intent of having an augmented reality experience. For this to happen, the recoil laser tag system has a list of components that are absolutely required for it to work in the way that is intended.
This just so happens to entail smartphones because these handheld devices have all the components.
Let’s discuss the system requirements… Within that list of the system requirements, you will see a list of the individual device components that you merely will not find in anything else other than a smartphone.
Once you see the system requirements you will understand why this system works the way it does and likely will stay that way in the future.
Before we get into the phones that are currently confirmed to be compatible with the recoil laser tag system. The recoil laser tag system does have just a few small system requirements that are worth mentioning here for you today.
If your phone does not have all of these system requirements in place, then you simply will not be able to use the recoil laser tag system.
If you are concerned that your current device is not compatible with the recoil laser tag system, do not worry! Most smartphones on the market should be compatible with the laser tag recoil guns.
The recoil laser tag system requirements:
1. GPS functionality turned on
2. Bluetooth functionality turned on
3. Wi-Fi compatible devices with Wi-Fi turned on
4. A Rear Facing Camera as well as a functioning Microphone.
Below is a list of currently confirmed phones that are best suited to support the recoil laser tag system:
It is worth mentioning that this is just a list of confirmed supported devices and this list will be continuously being updated as time moves on.
These phones are merely the only phones that are currently confirmed to be one hundred percent compatible with the recoil laser tag system at this time. And the devices that will certainly deliver you the best user experience.
So if while you were reading over this list you did not see your phone in any of the listings at this time, then do this step first.
Before investing in a new smartphone, just to play with the Recoil Laser Combat Game, check your current device to make sure that you have Bluetooth enabled, a rear camera, GPS enabled and WIFI enabled on your current phone.
