anyone know where i can get the IMPORT GunCon2 ? i want my gun to be black, not no fruity orange
-
I had my friend who\'s an art student at Sheridan College- that\'s where Disney, EA, and Industrial Light and Magic hire people. He did an amazing job. It looked pathetic being Orange, now it looks like a real gun! I like how on the back of Time Crisis 2 there\'s a warning:
WARNING! : Never point The Guncon2 at anyone, at anytime.
: Do not repaint any part of The Guncon2.
: Do not modify the Guncon2. If the Guncon2 is mistaken for a real weapon you could be hurt.
It\'s a God damn light gun game for **** sakes, I got mine painted from an Art student because it looks butt ugly being bright Orange. Why couldn\'t they pick a cooler color? I must admit the Guncon 2 is of excellent quality. It accuracy is 100%
SUPERB.
:D :D

Does the Guncon work with Rear Projection TVs? I can\'t find anything on this anywhere. The box says something like "may not work with projection tvs," but it doesn\'t say whether they\'re talking about REAR projection or FRONT projection. The Namco website doesn\'t say ANYTHING about it. :(

Try tronixweb.com.
That\'s where I get my imports. Not sure about the GunCon thing though, I\'m too lazy to check up on it for you. :p

I checked out another gaming site and the Mod says it worked perfectly on his Projection T.V. They reccomend not to play Videogames on Projection T.V\'s. I recently bought a 24 inch Sony Wega T.V and on the first page their is a warning about playing videogames on the TV. I think they put the warning because they are not responsible if images get burned on the screen. Just don\'t leave the game paused for long periods of time and turn down the color and turn up the Contrast on your T.V and you should be fine. Coredweller, maybe you should rent the game first to see if it works on your T.V just to be on the safe side.;)

Can you use the originall Gun Con with Time Crisis 2??
-
Yeah I wish the gun wasn\'t orange either. How can I impress all my friends and the ladies playing my video games with an orange gun. I\'m sure if it was black I\'d look so damn cool that it would impress everyone I know. Hell, I\'d walk down the street with it just to impress everyone if it was black.
:rolleyes:
It\'s a toy gun people!! Why the hell does it matter what color it is?!
-
Now...why the heck would you want to paint a toy gun to look like a real gun? What if you decide to go to your friend\'s house with this game and you happen to lug the painted plastic gun with you? Can you imagine the stares you\'ll get when people see you with it? Would you blame someone for mistaking your toy gun as a real one coz it\'s been painted to look more realistic?
Let real guns look like real guns.
-
Yes Vulcan you can:)
I\'m an old fart, and in my day toy guns were made to look real. That is the whole purpose of toys and especially videogames-- realism.
Just because of a handfull of brain-dead evil bastards who misuse guns (real, or toy) we have to have fruity colored-anti-realistic pieces of crap.
I know it\'s trivial, but it\'s the precedence it sets that pisses me off!
(also I wanted to check out my new sig:))

The question still stands....why make a fake gun look real?
Here\'s my advice. Go to a shooting range and have fun. Let real guns look like real guns.

Hmm, doesn\'t look like a real gun to me. Besides, how many real guns have a black cord sticking out of them?

mmh, here in holland we have the same thing. Only clear and blue/orange guns are accepted, people spray piant em black though (that what my cousin did to his airgun)
-
Why make fake tits look real?
Why make fake people look real (maniquins)?
Why make fake hair look real?
Why make fake jewlery look real?
etc,etc....
Oh? Is it because it\'s an Eeeeevil gun. Is that why IT shouldn\'t look "real"?
Throw out your real looking model planes and cars and all your Mcfarlene figures..They look TOOOO real.. AAAAhhhhh!!!:p
Ph33r the realism!!
-
My point is, a painted plastic toy gun can get you killed. It\'s a toy made to look like a toy for obvious reasons.
Now...as a gun advocate, you better keep your toy guns looking like toys.....it takes me only a second to pull the snub nose .38 from my ankle.
Actually, no I don\'t carry a weapon. Really.
-
Well Gman, here\'s my point:
Why should the actions of idiots determine the "real-ness" of toy guns? I don\'t believe in evolution, but adjusting society to better adhere to the ignorant and stupid among us is reverse-evolution.
A handfull of morons would use a real looking toy(gun) to rob a store, or otherwise get themselves killed...so what? Why should the VAST majority of us change OUR life for those fools?
Again, I could really care less about light-gun colors, but the IDEA of forming our rules of society on the actions of a demented few is grounds for extinction.
Awww..crap. I didn\'t mean to get so philisophical, we are just talking about light-guns here.
Anyway, I say make em\' look real, and if some kid get\'s capped because of it..... It\'s the dumb-ass kids fault, not the "real looking gun".
I have a bb gun that looks like it could be a "real gun". If I\'m so stupid to pull it out on cops, or use it in a robbery and end up DEAD, don\'t shed a tear for my sorry ass, applaud instead. The gene pool just got a little deeper.

I think when a corporation like Namco or Sony decides to sell their console peripheral like the Guncon2 in an ORANGE color, they not doing it for some high minded principle of "adjusting society to better adhere to the ignorant..." They simply are protecting themselves from product liability lawsuits in the event that 9 year old little Petey gets blown away when John Q. Law comes to bust his crackhead parents. It\'s nothing more complicated than that. If you don\'t like orange, just paint it black; takes about 6 minutes.

I never had Time Crisis for PS1. What color was the Guncon?

I have the Japanese version of the GunCon. It\'s black. And when I played it, a friend of mine came into the room(after my girl friend let him in)....he nearly had a heart attack when he saw sitting on the floor with a "gun" in my hand. Well...he\'s from 82nd Airborn so he\'s a bit war fatigued even today(and Desert Storm was 10 years ago). Go figure. Plus...with all the news about shootings.
Ah well....sign of the times. Laws are created after the fact. Seatbelts weren\'t a necessity til more people died. Plastic guns were mistaken by cops as real guns and capped the 9 year old standing in the hall way. So....they made them pink.
Anyway...Cignus....people can make mistakes....idiotic mistakes? Can you blame them for thinking it was real at first glance? That\'s how laws are determined.

ONLY a dumbass would go out, wave a gun in the air and get shot at.
--- runs outside with his black guncon2 with wires dangling and saying, "im going to shoot you all" ---

You\'re right. Kids never play with toy guns outside.
Dumbass.

Yeah and guess what? The world is full of dumbasses and kids(same thing).
I wonder if they made all real guns bright orange would people still want a black guncon or would they like orange so they could still look "cool" and realistic when they shoot their toy guns at the TV?
-
The fruity Orange gun looks sick! I could handle a dark Green, Blue, Grey, but not Orange. It\'s a color Nintendo would come up with. I bet if you brought that gun in your suitcase at the airport they probably would not let you on the plane. It\'s a Plastic Gun with bullets! The cord is some high tech bomb! Your under arrest! This is off topic, but why would Airports allow box cutters on the plane, or Swiss Army knives? All a terrorist has to do is press the small blade on a passengers Jugular Vein and he\'s dead. I was under the impression that such things were not allowed on board Airplanes. Anymore cases of Anthrax in the States? This is getting scary!:(

hmm well since im not a kid, and since im old enough to be your father, i wouldnt be waving a gun outside.
so if i want a black guncon2, then let it be. if i get shot at in my house for using it for a videogame, then i get shot at.
-
The important thing is that the gun is of excellent quality. The color is cheesey but Namco made their decision. Namco decided to release the game despite the terrorist attacks, which I think is cool. I wanted the official Sega light gun for House of The Dead 2 for Dreamcast, but because of the Columbine tragedy they decided not to bring it to the States. I ended up getting the Interact light gun which works preety good on my T.V. But the official Sega gun was supposed to be as tight as the Guncon.

You\'d have to be in your 60\'s to be my father. BTW, my father is 61 yrs old.
