Wht is ment by light gun?

Is there a difference? seriously I dont know Ive never even used a gun to play videogames... well maybe at the arcade, Im thinking of getting this gun to play resident evil 4 as its cheap thought I'd get it.has anyone used this gun before? its pretty standard nothing fancy

Comfort.

It's just an attachment that goes on the Wii remote. No difference at all.

A true light gun is a device that has a light sensitive sensor to activate it's controls. Usually triggered by flashes on the screen, either on the target you are aiming for or otherwise.The Wii remote has a proximity sensor that feeds off of the sensor bar on the television, eliminating the need for a light sensitive control, like other systems need.This device you pictured workslike a Wii steering wheel or the other various guns available that usually relocate the B button to a trigger position with a pistol grip. It's just an attachment, but if it were for another system, it would actually have a light sensor in it, because other systems don't have a sensor bar by default like the Wii. The attachments do help, though. You won't fatigue your hands and wrists as much on shoot-em-up games.

Thanks dude that basically sums up what I wanted to know plus more. appreciated.

Any time. The only stupid questions are the ones left unasked!

The gun accessories work best mainly for rail shooters. For Resident Evil 4, you shoot by holding down B to draw your weapon and actually fire by using the A button so simply pulling on the trigger won't make you fire your weapon. Likewise, you reload by holding B and pressing the D-pad. You'll be using the face buttons quite a bit (A for picking up items, - for inventory, etc.) So unless you're going to be playing alot of rail shooters. the gun accessory really isn't necessary and definitely shouldn't be used for Resident Evil 4 (you should definitely pick up the game though, it's absolutely fantastic :P).
