Slingshots are configured as autofire_coils in MPF.
Hardware
A sling shot usually consists of two blade switches and one coil. Those switches are wired in parallel because it does not matter which switch was closed to fire to slingshot. Connect one side of each switch to ground and the other side of both switches to the same input.
Part numbers:
- Data East/Sega/Stern: #500-5849-00
- Spooky/American Pinball/Suncoast: PBL-5849-01
