Though Nyko's Perfect Shot plays second fiddle to Nintendo's official Zapper, the third-party light gun has been praised for its excellent build quality and superior design. In fact, other accessory manufacturers took note of that superior design and are now selling it as their own!Datel's Wii Pistol mimics the Nyko product right down to its light blue grip. The knock-off peripheral is advertised on Datel/Codejunkies' shop as "the ideal add-on for classic blasters such as Resident Evil 4 and Chicken Shoot." Classic? Chicken Shoot?!
The Wii Pistol is currently out of stock, but it regularly retails for $12.99, two bucks cheaper than the Perfect Shot (Amazon currently has it on sale for $12.99, though). You can compare Datel's clone with Nyko's shell past the break.

Don't you mean Advantage Datel due to it's sans-orange tip status?

No Zapper/gun shell works with Resident evil 4 since the "B" button on the wiimote is used for targeting and the "A" button actually fires.

Orange tip, blue trigger and missing logo is only difference.

The only reason the Perfect Shot plays second fiddle to the Zapper is because the Zapper has a free game.

These guns are NOT AT ALL "ideal" for playing Resident Evil 4, as anyone who has any knowledge of the controls of that game can tell you.
Unless you like pulling the trigger with your pinky while holding only the barrel of these guns... because your thumb has to be firmly planted on the A button to shoot.
I just wish the makers of these things would stop lying about RE4 "compatibility". RE: Umbrella Chronicles maybe. Not RE:4 and probably not Metroid Prime 3, which is another bit of gun compatibility misinformation that constantly floats around here unchecked.
