Wii-K47: Wii Light Gun Attachment
Well looking for a light gun and debating on which one to get I ran into the Wii-K47 by Penguin United. From the looks of it the Wii-K47 seems to have a pretty good build quality. One of the main features of the Wii-K47 is the dual trigger one for A and one for B. This was a feature that was suppose to be on the Pelican Dual Shot, but I don't think that accessory every made it to market.
This is my first "Zapper" accessory that I have purchased. So I can't really compare it to the Official Zapper or any of the other ones.
The Wii-K47 has two parts, the front which holds the Wiimote and the back that holds the Nunchuck+Wires/Strap. Once the Wii-K47 is put together and the wires are all tucked away it looks pretty slick. The front grip is very square and seems a little small. So if depending on the size of your hand it can be uncomfortable. The rear grip is virtually the same as holding the nunchuck, although it may be a little cramped if you have large fingers. Both front and back pieces hold the controller fairly securely, you don't hear any rattling or have to worry about the controller flying out.
The front trigger layout is a bit weird, for some reason the top trigger pushes the A button and the bottom trigger pulls on the B. As far as pulling on the triggers and seeing the wiimote light up they seem pretty responsive. Both triggers have springs so if they feel mushy you can just find stiffer springs that fit. One thing I am worried about is the way the Wii-K47 pushes the A button. The A button is pressed by a piece of clear plastic that slides over the button, So eventually one of them will get worn out if not both of them.
The Wii-K47 does not have a sight on the front portion, so if your using just the front to play House of the Dead or something you might as well shoot from the hip. The back piece does have a sight but its pretty useless.
Sadly I don't currently have a game to use the Wii-K47 with, its on the way(NPPL 2009). As of now I would recommend the Wii-K47 to anyone looking for a zapper accessory as this is the only that is in the market that allows you to press the A button. Although the trigger positions are reversed. I am sure with some modification that could possibly be fixed.
I will try and get pictures up and more results once I get NPPL 2009
I finally got my game, and the game with the Wii-K47 is pretty good. It takes a bit to get used to it but for the most part its like playing lazy paintball no screaming, no running, no pain plus you get to wipe lol. So I would really recommend the Wii-K47, I got the Wii-K47 on ebay for about $15 shipped so it was a pretty good buy
