You squeeze the grip to use secondary fire?
*Has scary visions of people firing off shots and zooming in of rifles when they don't mean to, and generally bollocking everything up because its.. A gun..*

Now if it squirted water too, then I'd like it! (Although obviously not around my computer, that would be silly)

If it sort of pivoted from the base so it was a bit like aiming it might work - but it looks as if the whole thing slides around while the gun points resolutely forward. Try doing this with a (pretend) gun and see what a spacker you look.

And yes, imagine a gun that popped grenades/zoomed in/shouted "medic" just because you squeezed the handle a bit excitedly.

That stuff about "strong muscles" was a bit dodgy too - I don't need to go into specifics, but the muscles used to move my hand parallel to my knuckles are plenty strong enough.

Wouldn't you want to pick up the gun to aim at stuff...? So then the optical is like not touching the pad, so its not doing anything. *Slaps self over head*.. That mouse is broken. Or, it would be if it got anywhere near me... (I would actually prefer Apple's WTF mouse over that)

People find it most amusing when they see me leaning into corners and physically ducking behind crates, but I just can't help it.
