Name Synopsis
Meia Despite my high expectations for this gun, it didn’t do as well as I wanted it to. When I used the auto fire, auto re-load mode, the gun was very inaccurate, and actually shot on the screen about ¼ to ½ of the time. When I used the gun on normal mode it did well, shooting pretty accurately. The gun is pretty heavy though and the auto fire doesn’t work bringing it to about average.

At first glance, the garish yellow Heater is identical to the dark blue Cobra Gun except for two missing features: there’s no dual PlayStation/Saturn connector, and the red flashing LEDs have been replaced by stickers with the inspirational message "The ultimate weapon for shooting games." But the first glance would be wrong, because the Heater feels cheaper (including a very mushy trigger) and is noticeably less accurate than the Cobra Gun. A major disappointment, especially for an officially licensed gun.

Innova The Heater is an officially licensed PlayStation light gun that has the same basic design as the non-licensed Virtual Gun and Cobra Gun.  But, while both the Virtual Gun and the Cobra Gun perform brilliantly, The Heater's overall performance is downright disgusting.   The accuracy is horrible.  Getting the gun to calibrate correctly is a pain in the butt.  And once you actually do get it calibrated correctly, the accuracy fades very abruptly when playing the game.  Don't buy this gun.
