Perfect Shot Gun For Wii (Colours May Vary)

I love light gun games, but after buying Link's Crossbow Training, I must confess I was a little disappointed with the official Wii Zapper shell. Luckily, this little beauty has come to my rescue. So, why is it so great?First of all, this is a serious piece of kit: it's big enough to feel more like an arcade lightgun than your normal weedy home console gun, and with the Wii Remote plugged in, it has a satisfying and well balanced weight to it (once I'd picked it up, I didn't want to put it back down - it just feels very "right"). I'd probably even recommend against buying this for a kid, because I think smaller hands might struggle with the size.Secondly, unlike most of the other cheap and nasty third-party gun shells doing the rounds, the Perfect Shot allows you to plug a nunchuk into the bottom, meaning that you can happily play games like Ghost Squad, Link's Crossbow Training and House of the Dead, which have control layouts based around the Wii Zapper.Finally, the perfect shot outdoes the official Wii Zapper in just about every way possible: the trigger (which presses on the Wii Remote "B" button using a spring loaded mechanism) is tight and responsive, with none of the sponginess or missed shots that the Wii Zapper suffers from; the classic pistol grip means less of the achey arm syndrome caused by the "tommy gun" set up of the Wii Zapper and plugging a nunchuk into the bottom of the gun shell means you don't need to do any of the winding up and hiding cables that can make using the Wii Zapper quite annoying.My only (very minor) gripe is that plugging your remote into the shell isn't quite the "slide-and-go" affair that the instructions would have you believe - parents, you might wanna help the little ones to avoid them breaking anything. That's not to say it's hard to install your remote, just a little more fiddly than I expected... I'm really nit-picking at this point.All in all, I'd say this is a must-have for anyone who loves light-gun games, or who's looking for a second light-gun shell for two player fun. Seriously, this is one of the best purchases I've made for my Wii.

First off, the gun I received was a silver version - not the white/blue as seen in the product image. I have no idea if this is just a colour thing, or whether this means there are differences between them.What I like:- Sturdy enough- A gun controller is a must for games like House of the Dead, and this works- Feels fine in the hand (although slightly heavy for kids)What I don't like- Not sure if it's a Wii or gun problem, but the targeting does not line up with the physical sight on the gun, despite attempts at recalibration. This means you need to watch the crosshair on the screen pretty closely, or your aim will be off- Pretty fiddly to actually fit the wiimote in there, and a very snug fit when you do - so a shiny wii remote comes out with a few marks from the gun casingOverall, decent price and does the job - no regrets purchasing. I feel like there must be better models out there, though.

although this gun is a bit on the expensive side, it is extremely well built, with the remote mounted on it, it has a very nice solid feel, and pressing the trigger pushes the trigger on your wii very smoothly. I found the grip a little bit short (but I have largish hands, so I suspect it would be okay for most people). The sight on the gun is more for show as you will usually be aiming slightly higher than the sights, depending on your set up of course. I absolutely loved this gun, and all my nephew and nieces (7 out of 8 of them) loved it, 1 didn't but that was because she is only 6 and has very small hands, but even she said it was fun using it.Be warned - this gun is seriously addictive, you'll end up using for such long periods you'll end up with trigger ache!!

Does the job but the 'Shoot Active Venom' is better and half the price. The venom has a Walther P99 type grip and fits the hand much better than the Colt45 type grip of the 'Wii perfect shot'. Even though I have largish hands the 'perfect shot' feels slightly too wide (not too much of a problem but as an ex full bore pistol shooter I'm a bit fussy!). Design of both is the same apart from that.

The gun is not shooting very accurately.....

The nunchuck plug inside the gun broke as soon as I plugged the main controller into it. Useless.

I've wanted this item after seeing it featured on IGN many months ago, and have looked everywhere since, then it turned up here on Amazon!It is a seriously sturdy piece of kit, perfect for anyone looking to replicate the light gun arcade games in their home.What this gun offers over just using the remote alone is twofold;firstly, the shape. It's a gun. The trigger is where it should be and feels very robust, with a spring mechanism to reduce failed shots.secondly, it has a target sight behind the "barrel". What this means is that it can be calibrated on certain games to act just like a light gun, meaning you have to aim the gun rather than just move a cursor around on the screen until it goes where you need it to. On games like "House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return" you can calibrate the aim, and then turn off the on-screen cursor, so the only way to shoot is to aim down the barrel old school style, and it works perfectly.The best peripheral on the market for on-rails shooters.
