I was recently playing with my light gun and I thought of having a dual shock motor in the handle part of the gun (where you grip) and having the recoil feature like time crises in the arcade.

Imagine shooting a gas cylinder in time crises. Shoot (gun recoils) then the whole floor is shaking and you feel it through the gun's handle just like the dual shock.

Easy, Simple and Damn right Cool.

Do you agree??

oh man, Sorry I haven't really explained what i'm trying to say, ok here goes.

Imagine a plain light gun,now add a recoil feature on top. then in the handle part of the gun where you hold it put a completly separate dual shock motor.

there are guns with a recoil but there is no gun that i know of with a dual shock in the handle so you can feel vibrations when there's an earthquake or something.

ok?
and if it's linked to the console it won't need batteries

True, the dual shock got it's name by having two motors, on bigger than the other, in each hand, so that the game designers can give different types of effect to the user. Dual shock wouldn't apply in a gun, but recoil does, the only problem with my gun is that it needs batteries!!

okay?!?!

first off... chill :)

second... dual shock motors wouldnt work as recoil simulators.. this would need another derivation of the shock type system... or possibly a completly different type of motor

Which has, already been applied to light guns... of which you have already claimed to have knowledge of, and the you may even own, one...

so there we go then

I've got the P99k light gun with a recoil but it's nothing compared to the time crises gun in the arcade.
