While searching the 'net for Saturn light guns, I came across one manufactured by Blaze, called the Avenger Pro. It says it's compatible w/ Playstation, PSOne and Saturn.
I've got a GunCon 2 so I'm not worried about it's PS compatibility (though I am dying to play 2 player light gun games w/ my wife...maybe I should look for another GunCon 2?), what I wondering is how well does it work on the Saturn?
Years ago I had the Stunner light gun, but sold it off w/ my copy of Maximum Force (stupid me!). I know that gun worked like a charm...
So, am I better off picking up the Avenger Pro since I can get one new for less than $15 or keep searching for the Stunner light gun?
Anyone have any opinions or reviews of the Avenger Pro gun?
Or is there another Saturn light gun that is just as good?

I'm a purist for my Saturn hardware and prefer the Stunner, however the Nyko Super Cobra is a great gun that is loaded with features and looks cool too!
Works on both Sega Saturn and Sony Playstation/PS2. It features auto fire, auto reload, Konami or GunCon compatibility, rumble and LEDs that pulse when firing.

I just got a Cobra (not Super Cobra...at least it just says Cobra and looks like your picture). Is it both Konami and Guncon compatible? Also, someone posted me a list of gun-compatible games for the PS; is there one out there for the Saturn?
Thanks!

Okay, to answer my own question... X_x ....I found this list in another thread
Gun games:
Area 51
Crypt Killer
House of the Dead
Maximun Force
Revolution X
Virtual Cop
Virtual Cop 2
Is this complete for US Saturn games?

Was I stuttering when I mentioned SCUD?

The Cobra and Super Cobra both look very similar but the big difference between the two is the inclusion of some extra switches on the side of the Super Cobra to switch compatibility modes. The Super Cobra also has the composite video input cable for GunCon compatibility while the other does not.

Revolution X
Even though this was a gun game in the arcade (well, more of a gun-shaped analog controller game), it doesn't have light gun compatibility on the Saturn.

Ah, got it, thanks! I really want the PS Point Blank games so I guess I'll have to find a Super Cobra or get a GunCon. ;)

I got lucky today and found 2 Stunners on eBay for $5.95 each. Now all I gotta do is pick up some more good Saturn light gun games (i.e. Maximum Force!)
Anyone have Maximum Force for sale?
