View Full Version : Revolver-shaped NES light gun?

Okay, they had an -awesome- gun at the gamestore I work for in a pile of miscellaneous controllers: A revolver-shaped american NES light gun. It was the same color as they grey zapper-guns, and you -had- to cock it with your thumb before you could pull the trigger.

Can you imagine playing Wild Gunman with one of these?

Anyway, the tragedy is: It was -broken-. They did everything they could to fix it, promising I could have it if they ever did, but to no avail.

They still have the gun at the store (the assistant manager likes shooting people with it) so I'll take a picture and show it to you guys.

I've actually been looking for one of these guns for years. I was so heartbroken when the one I found in the pile didn't work (obviously, the -only- one in the pile, and I sorted well over a few thousand controllers). It was the very first one I've seen for real, in person, for an NES (I've seen a working -famicom- one... sigh).

My question is: Does anyone here have one, or know someone who does who is willing to sell, or know of a place that has one?

Thank you.

They show up on eBay occasionaly. They're made by Camerica, so that would probably be helpful to know.

I came across one of these unopened a couple years ago, but I turned around and sold it right after I bought it to make a quick $40. Thats the only one I've ever seen though. Good luck!

I have one of these, very awesome. However, they break pretty easily. The plastic had broken on mine and I fixed it, now it has a big nail threw it though :( I'm probably not going to sell mine either, and if I did you probably wouldn't want this paticular one.

They sell for around $30 on Ebay once in a while.

I know I have one. I'll look around and see if I have an extra. If so I may be willing to part with it. Kinda goofy little gun things. =]

Might not be too difficult to repair if all it needs is a plastic part....
