SUMMARY
Using convex lenses can potentially increase the range of laser tag guns by focusing the beam more tightly. However, the discussion highlights that while the beam may be concentrated, distance and atmospheric losses will likely diminish the beam's intensity, making it undetectable at longer ranges. Adding a sniper scope may enhance aiming precision but does not guarantee that the receptor will consistently receive the laser signal. Ultimately, increasing the intensity of the laser beam is identified as a more effective solution for extending range.
