Magazine: Zapper! is a recipe magazine about remote controls and triggers. It belongs to Electrical and lets a survivor set off devices from a distance.
Reading it teaches five recipes. Make Remote Controller (Short-Range), Make Remote Controller (Medium-Range) and Make Remote Controller (Long-Range) build the handsets. Make Remote Trigger builds the receiving part. Add Remote Trigger to Bomb fits that trigger to a bomb or noise device.
The magazine is a loot find. Electronics stores hold it far more often than anywhere else.
Uses
Every recipe uses Scrap Electronics. The controllers and the trigger also keep a screwdriver and pliers and use two Glue.
The three controllers start from a TV Remote, Cordless Phone or Pager. Make Remote Controller (Short-Range) needs Electrical level 2 and two Scrap Electronics. The Medium-Range version needs level 4 and three Scrap Electronics. The Long-Range version needs level 6 and four Scrap Electronics.
Make Remote Trigger needs Electrical level 2. It starts from a Receiver, Radio Receiver or Cordless Phone and makes a Crafted Trigger.
Add Remote Trigger to Bomb also needs Electrical level 2. It joins a Crafted Trigger to an Aerosol Bomb, Fire Bomb, Noise Maker, Pipe Bomb or Smoke Bomb with Duct Tape. The result is the remote version, such as a Remote Pipe Bomb or Remote Noise Generator.
The bombs themselves come from other magazines. Magazine: The Cheapskate's John Spiral - Homemade Explosives teaches the Aerosol Bomb, Fire Bomb and Pipe Bomb. Magazine: Real Spy Secrets - June 1993 teaches the Noise Maker.
Reading the magazine also eases boredom and stress. A read copy still has a use as padding. Make Magazine Body Armor and Make Magazine Limb Armor accept any magazine as crude armour.

Locations
Electronics stores are by far the best place. Their counters hold a copy about one time in five, and their shelves only a little less often. Book store shelves and tool store shelves turn one up now and then. Homes hold it at a similar rate in bathrooms, bedroom boxes, closets, attics, halls and living rooms.
