Whether either trumps Sony's own, Earthworm Jim-style gun shell, well, that comes down to personal preference.

Do people actually buy these type of things? I'm legitimately curious.

they must if they keep making them...
i wouldn't mind a gun shell for light gun games tbh. not sure if i'd drop 30$ on one... but 5-10 is reasonable... 15 is pushing it.

I guess I understand the ergonomic factor of it. I just can't imagine putting it on every time I play a specific game.

I wanna get a pistol for Time Crisis, The Shoot and whatever other rail shooter they release. But I will get the Precision Shot 3, link below.

That on the other hand does not look cool. Looks more like a futuristic hairdryer. -.-

"Do people actually buy these type of things? I'm legitimately curious."
I 've bought Guncon controllers for playing Time Crisis and Point Blank (which I miss). What is the difference? It changes your motion controller into a lightgun. Makes sense.
If they release a new updated Point Blank (come on Namco, I'm counting on you) then I would be all over this.
PS2 Guncons were awesome. I had Deagles and berettas with working slide action a la Namco arcades.

I liked that gun because of the navigation controller attachment. From the reviews, people are saying that the quality is real good, doesn't feel cheap or anything. Another thing to keep in mind is that the move controller chargers from CTA got horrible reviews (from amazon users), so I'm a bit iffy about CTA products.

@TraceurRyuk Prepping for LBP2 I'd buy one if that scope worked like an actual scope!!

My brother-in-law owns a whole bunch of those wacky Wii peripherals... you know, tennis racket, golf club, fishing reel, etc...
He also told me he heard that something called the "Wii HD" is coming out in Japan this November... So, he's a pretty casual gamer.

For some reason I thought WTF did Chicago Transit Authority do now, but than realized I was looking on Joystiq's site.
Anyways, I expect that CTA to pull out all the stops on useless crap for Move and even Kinect.

I would laugh at this but I'm positive they'll come out with some junk like this for Kinect too.

I would buy these before the Sony one. But I don't even own a PS3 so really how valued is my opinion...

From the source: "...so the fatigue that usually accompanies light-gun based controllers is a thing of the past."
Need to make kids these days haul around real guns for awhile, that'll keep them from getting fatigued playing with their fake guns.

Compared to the Time Crisis 4 guncon, this is far superior.
For one thing, it vibrates. And it will work with more than one game.

This wouldn't work for MAG. Not that you should aspire to play MAG with motion controls. Seems novel for on-rails shooters, though... but then why would you need a navigation controller?

You could easily incorporate the nav for all kinds of great functionality!
Switching weapons, reloading, ducking (a la Time Crisis).
I also recall TC4's odd special game mode, where you walked around with the stick on the end of the guncon3. I enjoyed it for a while, but it needed major improvements. I think it resembles mouse + WASD.

So it would be possible to play with the Move controller in the gun shell, being displayed on the screen as a tennis racquet?

When I read the headline "pulls the trigger" I was hoping it was that CTA put the peripheral out of its misery before releasing it.

Yea, MW2 had some crazy original military weapon designs. The M4 sure has staying power, I hope the military looks into developing a weapon like the one in the game.
