Wii Zapper: Ages 18 and Up Only

Apparently, little plastic vaguely gun-shaped thingies are more dangerous than we thought. Over in the the U.K. the Wii Zapper has already received a PEGI-18 rating for when it is released next month. That seems kind of strange to do for a peripheral; even stranger when you consider that it comes bundled with Link’s Crossbow Training, which is mostly derived from a game that received a “T for Teen” rating in the U.S. I suppose most of the games that use the zapper might be rated “M” or “18+,” but I’d bet there’ll also be a few titles that have you shooting water balloons or somesuch. This is probably just an attempt to dissolve some youth gun culture. Me, I’ve still got a cap gun from when I was a kid that looks like a real revolver. I used to point it at cops and go, “Bang bang!” I got shot a lot growing up, but the lawsuits paid off well.

“I got shot a lot growing up”
ORLY?
stupid hell I have pellet guns from when I was little and Ive never shot nor thought about shooting someone
Right. Well this is stupid, isn’t it?
I was shooting actual guns at the age of 8……I’m semi normal
Holy crap (I usually steer clear from saying that)… I’m not sure which side is right, but still, you can take a kid to a shooting range, buy him a water-gun, take him to laser tag, et cetera, all of which would train him better to kill than a stupid plastic contraction with an analog stick in the back!
