 GamingWorld - X Clusive Pelican Silent Scope Light Rifle Review
Developers of past light guns have always ignored some of the most wanted features of gamers, namely the mere fact that every light gun has to be some compact pistol.
The basic gun is that of a pump-action shotgun (which we are actually more impressed with), and the removable parts are the gun’s barrel, stock, and motion-sensitive scope.
Pelican’s Silent Scope Light Rifle sets a new benchmark for light gun peripherals, being a more lifelike representation for light gun gaming, and helping to break the theory that light gun peripherals have to be small, futuristic-looking pistols with bare-bones functions.

 Absolute Anime / Light Gun Review: RGT: G1 Light Gun
I've tried various combinations, yet every time I plug the gun in, the controller stops working, so the gun must be communicating to the game that it is a Guncon 2, and the game must be set to not allow a controller to be active while a Guncon 2 is plugged in.
The gun itself is light weight and comfortable to hold, but unlike the picture in its manual, you'll most likely end up holding it with both hands with your elbows resting on something, like your legs or table or back of a couch.
