 Great combination of Perfect Shot and official Nintendo blaster May 12, 2009

I recently purchased this blaster because I am a huge fan of the RE series and enjoy the gun-style games on Wii. I have the official Wii blaster made by Nintendo that came with Link's Crossbow training. The only thing that I like about that blaster better than this is the cord management, the RE blaster leaves the cord to the nunchuck hanging off to one side or the other. Other than that, I love this blaster. It has a spring in the trigger (much more accurate than the lack of one in the Nintendo model) and you have the option to take off the back grip and play with this gun in pistol mode. This makes the cord management a non-issue. Now let me compare this to the Nyko Perfect Shot, which I also own. The Perfect Shot has a much larger grip, and the wiimote fitment is a little more snug and secure (not that its loose by any means in the RE gun, but just better in the Perfect Shot). It also allows you to plug in a nunchuck through the passthrough at the bottom of the grip. This is great if you need it, but it leaves the nunchuck loose in your second hand. If I could choose one "blaster" shell out of all 3, I would suggest the RE blaster. It's versatility is excellent because its really a combination of the other two, and it just looks sweet.. Plus, it comes with an Umbrella Corporation thumb grip and skin for your wiimote, a nice touch.
 Looks great in the picture May 6, 2009

The Shot Blaster looks amazing, let's get that out of the way. It is the most BA looking controller for the Wii in my opinion, which is why I bought it. It LOOKS so much cooler than the zapper.
Honestly, it works great. The only problem (which is a huge one) is that the "cord management system (which is just a little hole behind where you put in the wiimote)" doesn't do much good; it just makes the excess cord shorter, it doesn't eliminate it.
The pictures you see of the gun seem to have a magical nunchuck with no chord, because my nunchuck has a cord that sticks out of the back and hangs down awkwardly during gameplay.
 Best Guncon ever!! February 16, 2009

This is by far the best light gun to play Umbrella Chronicles or any other rail shooter. Reloading is super easy with movable back handle, and all of the buttons are accessible. Back "blaster" portion is removable to convert it to a pistol. Comes with a sweet remote skin and analog cover. An absolute must for any Resident Evil fan!! Capcom should rerelease them though, because they're super hard to find!!
Looks cool breaks easy! September 16, 2009

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.

The Blaster looks great, but the Wii zapper works alot better. First I had a problem with the cord, when I did get it in, it was in the way, just hanging there. But I really
didn't need it so I removed the cord. The nunchuck holder at the rear of the gun kept coming off, it slides off to easy, so I removed it, I wasn't using the nunchuck anyway. But my biggest problem is the controller will not stay put in the controller compartment at the front of the gun. You raise the small door, set your controller in and close the little door, which if it worked would be great, but the little door on my gun will not lock down. I have forced it closed, then as I pull the trigger over time, the controller will force the little door open, and then either the controller will fall out or the trigger stops working, because the controller is loose. I put tape over the door to keep it closed. All guns may not have this problem, but mine does.
