"Arcade thrills at home" - 30 April 2008
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.

"Sheer Perfection! " - 24 April 2008
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.

"It's good!" - 16 July 2008
I had a good look around the forums to decide which was the best gun for the Wii. I was looking for a sub machine gun type gun. Really, I was looking for a "sub machine gun" type. All of the ones I looked at seemed to force you to hold them in a weird way. If you want to pull the trigger with your right hand - then they make you hold the back of the gun in your left hand. As a right handed person - this isn't intuitive. I want to hold the back in my right hand and the barrell in my left. So, in the end I went for the Pefect Shot pistol. It's actually pretty big - and though I don't have particularly small hands - the grip is slightly too large. However, this means that you can pull the trigger with your right hand and stabilise it with your left. I've been playing House of the Dead 1 & 2 which doesn't require nunchuck. There does not apear to be a time lag as the pistol pushes the B button. I would say it's a good gun overall

"Essential for light gun games" - 3 May 2008
This is an essential if you want to play any light gun games on wii. the official zapper was a dissapointment, although it was suited to Link's crossbow training. it actually works. i've heard bad things about other 3rd party guns. so i would stick to this one. definately worth getting if you're going to play umbrella chronicles or ghost squad.

"Better than the 'Zapper'" - 13 September 2008
Well built product just no room for the strap end so you need to really take the strap off before using.
