Lightguns exist for many platforms, for example for the Nintendo Entertainment System ( Zapper Gun ), for the Sony PlayStation, the Sega Master System, the Sega Saturn, the Sega Dreamcast, the Magnavox Odyssey or the Microsoft Xbox. In addition, there are often concerns on the part of consumers with the fear that the small TV at home is not as suitable for light guns as the large screens of slot machines. This is possibly due to the fact that only a few players are willing to purchase an additional control unit for their system. On the other hand, they are rarely used on the home console market there are only a few compatible games for game consoles. Lightguns are common in arcade games in amusement arcades. Models with force feedback support can also simulate the recoil of the weapon when firing. Lightguns are based on ballistic weapons (mostly pistols ) and are used to target objects on a screen.
