Wiimote gun mod -- pop a cap in your Wii

So, you're a man's man, and while you might very well enjoy a game of Wii Tennis now and then, or launching a plunger or three at those dagnab Rabbids, you're getting tired of looking like a spazmo kid while you're at it. We're not sure about the spazmo part, but it won't be hard for people to take you seriously when you start waving this Wiimote gun mod thing around. Due to the limitations of machine translation, we're not too sure on the details of this hack, other than the fact that the trigger has been indeed wired to the Wiimote's B button, and that the original gun is an alarmingly realistic BB number that most likely would not be legal in the States without some sort of orange paintjob, and even then, we don't really recommend doing anything stupid with your own version of this -- don't even try and deny it, we bet you're already ordering up the materials -- 'cause Jack Bauer might just have to take you down.

What game would you use this on?

[Kiazen Maven @ Feb 2nd 2007 12:50PM]

Maybe Call of Duty 3? Have you seen the commercial where the kid is shooting from behind the sofa

[James @ Feb 2nd 2007 12:50PM]

Alright, the Robocop Auto-9 (Beretta 93R)!

[Spartacus @ Feb 2nd 2007 1:13PM]

pretty huge for a BB gun...

I wonder if it still fires, cause really, it'd be quite awesome to be able to put a pellet in your friend after he 'friendly' fire kills you in whatever game you may play.

lol that thing is ridiculous looking. i guess it wasn't obvious enough that the pistol grip should be centered below the back of the wii remote itself making the wiimote represent the chamber+barrel portion of the gun.

Pretty Cool but it looks like it would give me carpal tunnel in two hours

[Darrien Woomer @ Feb 2nd 2007 3:29PM]

Looks cool. It seems great for 24 The Game on the Wii (if it would come out on the Wii) Ok I think about every tech blogger is a 24 fan, why is that. Talking about 24, Wii and other cool things check out this video

Balance is important in aiming a handgun...that thing looks impossible to use accurately

As for the comments about orange, there are plenty of pellet pistols on the market that look just like the real thing:

As previously stated, this is Robocop's Beretta, and its an Airsoft gun at that, I have a friend who has it (in his collection of robocop crap)

I love the translations.

'　　　Time of small school,　When the friend it is with the [chi] the street fighter Ⅱ it has being able to let do,
　　　　The cruciform key [gu] [ri] [gu] [ri] with the person who is done, the left hand thumb the extent w which comes off. 　　　　Therefore such it is, the Family Computer including,

What does that mean??

Note to Engadget: Enough Wiimote anecdotal 'oh look what they did with it now' crap.

The Wii isn't so adorable and versatile that gluing one to an average appliance or one's ass makes for headline news on leading tech blogs, sorry.
