Fun:
I really like to play Wii games where i can shot on the screen. I am a big fan of Ghost Squad. So i bought the Zapper, Pistols and Rifles, but it was always a strange feeling if i had an Assault or Sniper Rifle in the game but a Pistol in my hands. So i gave this product a try. As i opened the package i was very positively surprised: Good Quality, No sharp edges, solid build. Two features i especially like are the Buzz mode and the Scope (it really works). Also nice are the Nunchuk Bottons on the front of the magazin. The Nunchuk itself fits in rifle body behind the scope.
There are only two minor flaws in this Product. The white plastic in front/above the remote IR Sensor reflects sometimes the IR Lights from the sensor bar, resulting in a strange aiming behavour. But this can easily be fixed by puting a strap of non-reflexing tape inside (i used white sports tape). Also if you do not attach the scope i missed iron sights.
The Pros:
-Solid build, good weight
-Flexible (use it as Sniper Rifle, Assault Rifle or SMG)
-Good Trigger Control (not to hard to pull, not to soft)
-Buzz Mode (the gun vibrates a little after you pulled the trigger. This can be turned on/off).
The Cons:
-Reflection of the sensor bar light (how to fix this read above)
-No Iron Sights
Conclusion: If you like Shooting Wii Games like Ghost Squad it is a must have. (I bought a second one today for my family).

Fun:
I bought this on the basis of the other reviews. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. Where to begin...
This rifle allows the use of the Wiimote with the Motion plus attached. I don't know if the others tried it, but the only way to keep the top plate closed with this arrangement is to use gaffer tape, otherwise it pops open with even the slightest jar or knock. The problem seems to be the lock-buttons on the motionplus causing the sideplate of the rifle to bulge outward. Not by much, but enough.
I don't have small hands, but I found it nearly impossible to use the trigger and control stick simultaneously. The original Zapper uses one hand to operate the Wiimote trigger and one to operate the controls on the Nunchuk. With this, the buttons for the nunchuk are mounted on the front of the "magazine" while the control stick is on the curve of the handgrip. This means you need three hands to use all the controls at the same time. At least if you want to be comfortable. I can barely get my trigger finger far enough forward to pull the trigger while using the control stick to move. Circular strafing is really difficult with this arrangement. These things are meant to make things easier, not harder.
The scope is nothing more than a plastic tube with two flat clear plastic sheets at either end: One of which has a graduated reticule. How this makes aiming clearer - as stated by another reviewer - I have no idea. The frame of the scope just blocks part of the screen, reducing the area you can see. And I'm using a 42" screen! Plus they pick up dirt really quickly. I bet they scratch easily too.
In essence, if you want to use a rifle gadget with your games, this would be fine, as long as you don't need to move while firing and you're willing to use some gaffer tape or similar if you are using the motionplus. I think I'll stick with my Nikko pistol. I can't use the Motionplus (the new all-in-one Wiimote/Motion plus is coming out soon though), but it's still better and far more comfortable than this travesty.

Fun:
Purchased this rifle as it can be used as a shotgun or full sniper rifle. I wanted the shotgun as playing House of the Dead and blasting away with a pistol when your using the shotgun mode dosen't feel right. Well impressed with the quality and size of the rifle, certainly makes playing House of the Dead more fun! Only downside is the hand grip is far too wide, its difficult to get your hand around and operate the trigger comfortably due to the width of it. Shame, spoils a great product.

Not so good
The rifle does all that is advertised, I just dislike a so big accessory for gaming, it doesn't assist me in fast target acquiring.

Gun for giant hands only
I really looked forward to using this gun with Sniper Elite. The gun would be excellent for the game if it were not for the very large grip of the gun. Read more
