Product Description

With the look of an assault rifle and lightweight construction for ease of use, this accessory allows gamers to get down on the floor in full sniper pose and wreak havoc in their favorite first-person shooter games, including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and Call of Duty: World at War, and all other shooter games. Designed with modern warfare in mind, the Assault Rifle's trigger functions as the R1 button for realistic "reaction" game-play. Each OEM Sony PlayStation controller button is represented on the Assault Rifle, including the D-pad, PS button, start and select buttons, and clickable thumb sticks for strafing, running, steadying the weapon, and exploring the game environment. Gamers can pull the trigger with one hand and press the controller buttons with the other to shoot enemy combatants and move through the gaming environment. The Rifle comes with a removable scope and stock. The Assault Rifle also features a built-in speaker with realistic sound effects that can be turned on and off for a fun game play experience. By pulling the trigger, the Rifle emits single shot, three-shot burst, and fully automatic sound effects to complement the on-screen action that can be activated even when the Rifle isn't synced with the PlayStation 3. Setting up the Rifle is as easy as pushing a button. Gamers simply plug in the USB dongle key to their PlayStation 3 units and then press the home button on the Rifle for wireless synchronization. Four LED lights display controller port selection. The Rifle is powered with two AA batteries and has an on/off switch to conserve power. Each package includes the Assault Rifle controller, USB dongle key, scope, and stock.

Man, this thing sucks! Its so light and flimsy that it feels like it will fall apart any minute. I thought maybe the aiming point on screen would move with the gun but noooooo you still have to move it with the thumb button just like a PS3 controller. You end up just holding the gun still while you play. Instead of just a quadrail with buttons they should have mounted a foregrip to it and put the buttons on that instead. It wouldn't be so awkward.
The sound effects just rot and need to be left off and the scope is totally useless. You cant even look through it.
Complete waste of money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This would be far more successful in my eye's if you could somehow move the gun for the right analog. Sadly, there is an analog on the gun which truely destroys the whole experience. Also, the sounds on the gun sounds similar to what you'd hear on a cheap $1 gun. Also, this gun doesn't work with the default controls in some games, such as Medal of Honor Airborne, Brother's in Arms: Hells highway and other shooters that use the R2 button to shoot.

This is a cheap toy gun with a built in PS3 controller. It has no special capabilities and does not function particularly well. I was lead to believe that it actually does something other than disguise a controller as a gun. Great idea but very poor execution.
