While the design of this is really nice -- especially the Nun-chuck grip plug. With such a great thought out design, I can't believe they dropped the ball on a hold down for the WiiMote on the front of the "gun." When you pull the trigger, the front of the Wiimote lift's up out of the gun. While there are two side slot tabs that line up the Wiimote and help hold it in place, there is way too much leverage to the front of the Wiimote and it simply does not stay in down.

Very disappointing!!!!

Quite nice to look at, certainly better feeling than using the wii remote for games like the Umbrella cnronicles. Never mind about the A button because most new shooting games (like the umbrella chronicles) will configure controls so that you don't need it.
Never mind about the occasional pop up of the remote from the front end of the "gun". If this happens (mine is new and this doesn't seem to be a problem yet), this could be solved easily with a small rubber band similar to Nyko Perfect shot design (that is what I do preventively).

However I consider the biggest design flaw of this product its trigger which is extremely tight (BIG problem for continuous shooting), it has also very long travel and it is vague.
It's grip is also a little awkward but this may be my feeling.
All and all
(+) Nice shape
(+) Very good nunchuck connectivity (it has an adaptor to the bottom of the grip)
(+) Not very heavy (feels right with the wii remote on)
(-) Awkward grip (not ergonomic)
(-) VERY VERY BAD trigger

It looks good, but that's all there is. The gun is bulky and makes it difficult to play games. You still need to access the button on the remote which now lay on top of the gun. Because the gun is so bulky, one can no longer reach the buttons atop the remote, which you need to in order to change guns and for other game functions, with the same hand that holds the gun. (I have average finger length and needed to use my other hand to reach the remote buttons. This doesn't sound bad until one considers the fact that for most WII shooters a nunchuck, which is held in the other hand, is required. Pushing buttons on the remote/gun with the nunchuck is distracting and ruins the game experience.

Was initially impressed, with the guns, however, soon to be found out, is that there isn't much room for the wrist strap when connecting the remote to the top part of the Light Gun. Accuracy isn't bad, however, you must pull the trigger firmly otherwise you miss the shot. I think the construction could have been a bit better for me to be more impressed.

This product is well made and works, but does not provide the additional aiming accuracy I thought is might. Additionally, since the fire button is being pushed by a mechanical lever you can not fire very quickly. I do not use this when playing games as it slows me down and does not help with accuracy, but it is cool in your hand and cheap. If I practiced with it I may get better, but who has time for that?

One more thing is it does not work with all game - specifically resident evil

It wasn't what I thought it would be. Instead of making the game easier, it makes the game much harder.

My 19 year old bought this for a game and she really enjoys having it to help aim at the screen. Good purchase!

I got this gun thinking it would be a great addition but it is TERRIBLE. I played it with Medal of Honor:Heroes 2 and when you reload the front of the controller lifts up. I put a rubber band on the front to try to make it work better but that did not stop my Wiimote from flying out of the gun and NARROWLY missing my 65" tv. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. It is complete junk. I just threw both my guns away because I am afraid something will get broken using this junk. I REPEAT! THIS IS JUNK! DO NOT BUY IT!

IT IS DEFINATELY COOL LOOKING, WAY COOLER THAN THE WII ZAPPER. ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT NOT MANY GAMES ONLY USE THE "B" BUTTON. IT WORKED REALLY WELL FOR WII ZAPPER GAMES. IF YOU BUY THIS, BUY MEDAL OF HONOR HEROES 2. GIVES YOU THE FEELING OF SHOOTING A REAL GUN. PLASTIC IS WELL MADE.

This has been a great item. My son loves it and has been playing with it non-stop. :)
