Simple gun mod makes use of scraps

Don't feel like laying out the money for a Zapper or another gun shell, but feel the need to adapt your Wii remote for shooting? Follow the example of Wii owner Chung Dha Lam and slap something together from sheets of plastic or an old cereal box. But don't be fooled by the deceptively simple design of this "shell." It may not look like much, but the template was carefully designed in Adobe Illustrator, and the creator has kindly made it available for download if you'd like to construct your own from whatever's lying around in your house.

I am not sure what glue you are using but mine holds up perfectly. Maybe you need better glue or harder kind of paper. Normal thin printing paper is not hard inof. Don't use glue sticks those glue are way to weak, use super glue or any strong glue.

You can perfectly hold the grip and also press the B button below for shooting. You hold your other hand above the gun for the A button and the direction buttons. Or you use the nunchuck to replace the A and direction button.

If you read my blog you should read the grip can be scaled if the original size that fits my hand is too big. And you can't reach the B button.

PS always use the strap, you never know what you do when you get mad at the game.
