Video game Gun

http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/question273.htm



Another thing i was interested in was how the gun that hooks up to your video game system works. For an example is the gun used in the Nintendo Duckhunt. The gun contains photodiode which is able to detect light from the screen. This is how it gets its "aimer" on track to the screen. Horizontal and vertical retrace are used to detect the signal also. Thanks to this finding, it makes video games 10x's more fun.
