i think that this generation of parents are the most pathetic and irresponsible yet.... where i work i have parents who buy grand theft auto for their six year old kids justifying it by saying theira kids have seen it before... if you are a parent grow up and learn what is appropriate for your kid and stop blaming everyone else in the world for your kid being fat, dumb, and unable to tell the difference between reality and a game.

 I'm guessing you're not a parent...

Until you have to go through the trouble of trying not to sacrifice your entire life for your child, then don't talk.

Not only will I buy one for my kids, I will buy two so that I can participate! Anytime you have anything gun related, you will have people who condemn it. This is just some way for them to create some kind of controversy so that they can get their issue on the front page. Not to mention, they are from New Jersey. What kind of parent criticizes another parent, when they let their own children grow up in Jersey.

@ cklmb... when Manhunt got banned here in the UK it was a big front page story on one of our newspaper publications (the Metro)

Night Trap wasn't that the one with Debbie Harry and Cory Haim?

As an asside, they used the wrong picture of the Zapper when conducting this survey. The picture they used was the following:

 


 Holy hell!  That thing is SHWEEET!

But uh anyways, look at the old duck hunt light gun, that thing looked decently realistic and I don't remember hearing stories of kids training to shoot up their schools on duck hunt.  

The phrasing of the question is clearly more of an issue than the zapper itself.

PS - Is that pic above of an actual product? Or just a mock up?

It's a third party product. It apparently functions well...the Wiimote slides into the holster and snaps into the port, which allows you to plug the nunchuck wire into teh bottom of the handle.

It's cool looking, but it'd be very hard to press any buttons on the top of the Wiimote like that...even harder than when using the Zapper.

The thing I don't like about even the official Zapper is that you lose easy, quick access to almost all the buttons on the top of the Wiimote...you'd have to reach up and around to get to the buttons...not good in quick firefights...

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
