Nope, they aren't available anymore and weren't legal for sale in the U.S. due to the end of the barrel not being bright orange to differentiate it from a real gun.

They look higher quality then they actually are.
They look cool and are comfortable to hold, but are extremely light and the buttons feel chincy.

The features list vibration, but it doesn't feel heavy enough to contain a shaker motor.
There is a speaker in it.  When I get the other one back, I may tear it apart and see if I can add a standalone vibration circuit.
(if there is indeed a rumble motor in it)

I'll probably order a bar this weekend.  I might be able to integrate a pseudo driver for ts2 for the emulation mode.  Again though, I was trying to get away from that. 
BadMouth:
Any idea how it detects that a nunchuck is connected?  The guns have the connector on the bottom.
If it's a matter of installing a jumper wire or resistor to fool it, that would be an easier fix than software.
Howard_Casto:
It's more complicated than that I'm afraid.  The wii/wii u protocol is a surprisingly sophisticated I2C serial bus system.  It's kind of like usb.... the wiimote acts as a hub and extension controllers report their status, allowing for hot swapping. 

The wiimote is well documented if you want to try to find another method:

Your cheapest and easiest route is to just buy a nunchuck.  While the official ones are expensive, you can get bad Chinese knock-offs for a couple bucks. The pcbs are basically nothing but the analog stick, so you could probably cram one inside the gun.  Myself I had planned on converting the nunchuck to a pedal for the shooting games where you duck. 
MrThunderwing:
Wow, that gun looks super-realistic, I'm surprised you can get something like that in the US without it having some big orange bit stuck on it to make it more obvious it's a toy Edit: Ah, I didn't read the whole thread. Make sure you're not waving it around in your living room BadMouth if you happen to have some trigger happy cops driving past your house. The sensor bar thing seems pretty cool, I wonder if you can get something like this that'll work for PC with a PS move, ' cause I've got of they with some gun housings.
