If you haven't cared for the style of any of the previous guns available for the Wii, the Perfect Shot from Nyko may appeal to your baser instincts. Presenting a more compact body than the Zapper, the gun allows you to comfortably use one hand and forfeits all of that nunchuk nonsense.
Hysteria aside, Perfect Shot can be pre-ordered through Amazon for a mere $12.99. Cheap weapons! Now that's something to get worked up about. Before you get bouncy about giving it as a gift this Holiday, I have to pee in your soup -- it won't be available for purchase until December 24th, so if you can give a gift late that's the only way you can slap a red bow on it.
I'm interested to see if this gun will earn any negative reaction in the press. Sure, it's brightly painted, but it still resembles a real gun more than any of the previously available models. It's funny to think of some wailing protester stamping on a pile of plastic pistols, but before you laugh, it may actually be happening in some boondocks town. Damn hippies.

As soon as I get a wii.
Of course, the ring is just a cheap piece of plastic that you can probably pop off easy, like with a pocket knife . . .
hysteria aside, I wonder how this jives with games that still require you to use the A button on a regular basis. Isn't that part of why the zapper is a wrap around two hander dealy?

Shame that ridiculous laws have forced them to look like dayglow nightmares though.
->brad drac: Nunchuck port is still accessible through an opening at the arse end of the product. Should really try finding answers for myself before asking, but meh.
Super Troopers ftw
Pretty good, but as it has been mentioned already, you can't really sight it in properly unless your rig is set up -just- right. You would need to stand at exactly the right distance from the sensor bar, the right height, and NOT MOVE.
One thing you may not realize until you get your hands on one: The grip is far from ergonomic. Its a thick-arse brick that doesn't exactly sit comfortably in the hands of anyone without gorilla paws. Its acceptable for reasonable playtimes, but it hurts after extended play (not as much as if you tried it with just the Wiimote, however, which is the point).
Last (and definitely least), the nunchaku bypass doesn't snap into place as securely as the slot on the Wiimote. In fact, you can actually just pull it out without retracting the clips. It fits pretty snugly to stay in the slot otherwise, but if you pull, it will come out.
Overall, its still the best gun peripheral atm, and you really can't beat the price. However, the above gripes in mind, its not that much better (or better at all perhaps) value-wise than the zapper package, being that the zapper comes with a game for only $5-7 more (also, don't forget shipping, since this isn't available in stores). If you needed a second gun, though, this is definitely your best bet.
one thing i wish the handle was heavier so i could spin it cowboy style better :D
