Make your own Nintendo Wii gun
Filed under: geek it yourself
Although the Nintendo Wii Zapper accessory has been for sale for quite some instance now, sometimes spending the estimated $20 or so for a piece of molded plastic is just not doable to many of us. perhaps it’s out of principle or funds being used for higher priorities, but whether you haven’t bought a zapper, here’s a solution for you.
This quite inventive DIY’er made a Wii “holster” out of standard plastic acrylate sheets using a design he made in Adobe Illustrator. Plastic acrylate is the material you often seen used for those see-through boxes on the shelves of many retailers (not blister packs, though).
If you have a Wii game that requires the Wiimote to be held in a specific way and you haven’t bought a Zapper to hold it, that is probably your solution. that won’t hold the nunchuk that you may need as well (as in, The Legend of Zelda), but it does allow for the nunchuk to be connected. whether you want the template to cut out your own Zapper apparatus, see this (PDF download). You’ll need some small elastic bands and, of course, a sheet or two of plastic acrylate.
