They have done in the past good guns for the console put now they have create this outstanding gun system for your PC.

The first thing that will catch your eye is this slick futuristic silver look of the guns. Not only they look great but the feel of it too. They are very light not too big or small so it fits all the type of hands women or men. On top of that the is made so that no matter if you are left-handed or right-handed it will not matter because they are done symmetrically the same on each side with one trigger and one mounted black button.

The entire system

Nice looking gun

up that you need to shoot down like the old Duck arcade games to start you with. The guns are optimized with different games like Die Hard Trilogy 2 but they are added some always so before you install your driver that comes with the system I advice that you go on their site get the latest drivers so that you are always up to date.

When you install your system only need the driver no need to install any expansion card because it goes into a game port and regular video PC connection and it is compatible with the major 3D accelerators. And the device works as a direct Imput controller. You will have to calibrate them before though and each game are different.

Will find also that the accuracy factor will differ depending on the game you are trying. But the biggest problem with it the side buttons is unreachable so you need to use your other hand. Again depending on what game you are playing and how important the button is, it will frustrate you. Hopefully since it is a gun system they will improve the future ones.

You will be amaze to know that the accuracy of each shot is to within 3 pixels in resolutions up too 1600 x 1200. This system is compatible with VGA video cards and CTR and extra large monitors even the one over 21 inches.

Like a racing system is a must for fans of racing games well Act-Labs GS is a must for any fans of shooters if you want to experience the real feeling of a gun in your hands while you shoot.
