  This is the most comfortable gun for Wii
  
  I have tried about half a dozen little plastic guns for the Wii, and this one is definitely the best. Some of the others are downright lousy, but even the good ones had really large handles that become uncomfortable very quickly. This gun has a slim handle with no sharp edges. Don't get me wrong-a couple hours of House of the Dead and your hand is still cramping up, but this gun is as comfortable as possible. The trigger pull is smooth and comfortable, although maybe just a touch long. You can detach the nunchuck for games like Resident Evil Chronicles or leave it on for any game that lets you use the nunchuck buttons as a trigger. This is definitely the most comfortable plastic gun frame I have used.

  Not as great as others
  
  The product is very fun and interesting, and the functionality of the blaster is moderately high... There are a few pros and cons...
  
  I purchased a pair of these guns for a large number of arcde-style shooters I have like Umbrella Chronicles, Darkside Chronicles, House of the dead overkill, 2&3, and others....
  
  Pros:
  1. the trigger mechanism is very intuitive and makes the system very reliable
  2. The way you insert the gun is you lift a little locking lid and just drop the controller in, scrunching up the wire for the nunchuck behind the wii mote and then cloding the lid. Works great, and no room for guesswork.
  3. The extras are decent... the "skin" is a sticker... useless and only applies once. But the Silicone analog button that came with it is GREAT. it looks wonderful on bothe the white and black nunchuckas. Takes some time to get on, but keep at it, tis makes it alot easier to use!
  
  Cons:
  
  1. The two controllers I got are slightly different, one has a matte-like silicone finish on the back where the nunchaka goes, and the other is just a gloss black plaztic, like they forgot it or something...
  2: the wire management (like others say) is a ilttle tough to deal with, but is easily remidied by stuffing the wire into the compartemtn behind the wiimote and firly closing the lid.
  3. When playing games that require you to use buttons on the wiimote (like the A, +, -, or directional pad) you are unable to comfortable or quickly do it (darkside chronicles and umbrella chronicles (the game this is made for ironically enough) are impossible to play using this remote, or any other like it for that matter...)
  
  
  Overall these controllers are more fun that they are functionaly... still, for 20 bucks you'd think they would have thought about the "A" button...

  Awesome gun
  
  Awesome gun to use while blasting through Resident Evil Umbrella chronicles or Darkside. Great feel, comfortable, you can move the end nub for the nunchuk out of the way so you can hold and use it like a real handgun, cool layovers and just a very cool gun to use. The only thing I didn't like which gets better with a little use is the tad stiff trigger but it makes it more lifelike. Great prop and controller.

  Broke as soon as I picked it up
  
  This broke the first time I picked it up. I couldn't believe it. I picked up the blaster, tried moving the back handle without even using much force, and it just broke off in my hand. It looks really cool, but it is just poorly designed and manufactured. The Wii Zapper leaves something to be desired, but at least it is pretty well constructed. Don't bother with the Capcom blaster. I can't believe they would even sell this thing.

  Looks cool breaks easy!
  
  I hate the Wii Zapper, and this was recomended by the guys at Game Stop. Once I figured out what to do with the cord for the nunchuck it worked great, for a while that is. The top for the controller kept comming loose until if finally broke. As an engineer I improved the design. Used a drill, some hard wire and pliers to keep it on there forever. Now the controller doesn't come out by accident! Then my son broke the nunchuck holder through rapid reloading. We were playing a hunting game that uses a similar action to RE reload action. We loved how easy it was to reload, but even though my son is 10 years old and gets a little over excited it shouldn't have broken that easy in my opinion. We still use the gun portion, but I am at a loss for what to use as a reloading mechanism for games that require the nunchuck.
