PS2 had a light gun?

[RU Joe]

I was looking for a picture to use in my signature, and came across this:

I never knew such a thing as a PS2 light gun existed, did you guys?
:o

You have to love the internet, it provides so much extra information which often leads to 'discoveries' such as this.
I know you guys are probably groaning and rolling your eyes as I present yet another Lamer issue, but for me this is kind of exiting.

How come I never saw another game besides this one that supports this apparently rare light gun?
I even came across a hunting game recently and it didn't seem to indicate this, which would have been perfect for that title.
What was this gun?
Did it take batteries?
These are things I need to know!

{actually, I just want to know how many of you guys already knew about it :cute:}

[warghoul]

I think there was only about 5 or 6 games that required it. Not the most popular accessory.

[jim5cents]

I think there were a couple of Time Crisis games that used the light gun. I also think there was a Resident Evil game that used it as well.

Just a quick look on Ebay shows that there were multiple light guns produced. They did not require batteries.

[RU Joe]

Hmm, I wonder if it's as good as the Nintendo Zapper.
Maybe it can finally kill that Duck Hunt dog!

I think the light gun for the PS1 was compatible for the PS2 as well

It was called the GunCon

I have the GunCon for the PS1 that came with Time Crisis. It plugs into the regular controller port, and the yellow video cable passes through a port also connected to the cord. You have to calibrate it at the start of the game.

I think the games in this series used the Playstation gun

This is how one brand of the gun for the Playstation 2 looked like

[RU Joe]

^ Wow, so much for the day - glo orange model.
That thing looks practically real!

[Dudebro]

Why does it say Israel Military Industries and thrustmaster on the gun? Something seems strange about that.

Desert eagles are made in Israel. My buddys got one it's like shooting a hand held shotgun.

[Dudebro]

I didn't realize they're Israeli made guns, I guess the name makes more sense now though. ;) So nothing on why it's called a thrustmaster?

[warghoul]

\ So nothing on why it's called a thrustmaster?
Well there's a reason...but it's kind of inappropriate:quiet:

[Dudebro]

If you're serious I'd like to know, PM me with the answer.

[Slime Slayer]

If you're serious I'd like to know, PM me with the answer.

Seriously? You think there is some sort of dirty inside joke or something? It recoiled when fired.

Okay, I was wrong... sue me, Thrustmaster is the the name of the company that produces them and other peripherals.

[Dudebro]

I didn't think it was a dirty joke but I did assume it was a phallic reference.

[elrod21]

Joe if you want to buy one Game Deals in New West had like 5 of them the last time I was there 2 weeks ago.(Used of course) It is just outside the Columbia SkyTrain Station.

[alohaex]

Madea should have one of those

[sezthemank]

that thing would be illigal over here, unless it was a different colour, most replicia/false/anything that resembles a gun are bright orange, even plastic pellet guns.

[jim5cents]

2nd Amendment...another reason why America is better than the UK

[Dudebro]

Actually I think that kind of gun would be illegal or at least redesigned if it were released today. I suspect it only looks that way because it was so obscure and parents groups didn't catch wind of it.

[sezthemank]

Yeah Guns are mostly illigal over here unless you have a licenece (I shot some clay pidgons not long ago with a shot gun, THAT was FUN) but anything that even looks like a gun, you can get arrested for now for something like in posession of a fake firearm.

Also SHUT IT Jim.

I'm sure that the animals are very happy about that!

[sezthemank]

Meh theres a riffle in my bedroom, its all good :)
(lol you think Im joking)

[RU Joe]

I'm a Canadian.
I have no gun.
If I fight back if someone attacks me or breaks into my house, I'm the bad guy.
It seems like I'm supposed to go limp like a deer in the jaws of a lion, and allow them to do what they want.

Since that's the case, if I'm destined for jail anyhow just for protecting myself I may as well fight back.
It makes sense?

On guns: remember, the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution was put in place so that citizens could defend themselves against corrupt Government.
This is why they're trying to disarm you guys right now; they're corrupt!

[elrod21]

Right on, thanks Elrod!
:victory:

No Problem! Glad I can help a fellow gamer out. :)
