The NES light gun/controller

Oh Ben Heck, what can't you do? The maker of the PS3 laptop and a bunch of other cool modifications is at it again: this time he's come up with an NES controller built on the ol' light gun.
This was a fun one.

I got the idea when I saw the guy who put an NOC in an original NES controller. Pretty nifty.

My daughter loves to play Duck Hunt and Hogan's Alley.

So I was looking at the light gun that came with a Super Joy III I had laying around, and on opening it up I was delighted with all the room inside.

    I like this a lot- I don't know why.


    It doesn't seem like that difficult of a mod.

    Wow, that's pretty cool.

    What would be even more is if you could dual wield lightguns. Can you?

    If anything, if there are two-player light-gun games, you could just turn both players on and pretend your really dual-wielding, while instead playing as two different players

    Very cool.

    Ben Heck needs his own show on the Life Network or something.
