Stupid Clunky Pointless Accessory Of The Decade, And Its Only 2011
There have been light guns since the days of the NES, and gun-shaped controller accessories continue to be a staple for every game console. Called the App Gun, courtesy of a company called AppToyz.
All you have to do is strap your iPhone into the little case at the end of the gun, and suddenly you can play all those arcade shooters without the annoyance of your fingers getting in the way.
When you pull the trigger, it causes a little rubber arm to tap the touchscreen for you. Quite pointlessly though, these arms are not movable, they can only hit the screen at the spot where they’re stationed.
So if you want the perfect example of an “I have it because they make it”, over-the-top and unnecessary iPhone accessory, the App Gun will be available for you sometime this summer for around $30.




The perfect toy for the frustrated South African office worker.
