Mag Gun - The Story of an Engineer Father and His Son

For every successful technolgy, there is always a human touch.
For every breakthrough in gamer world, there is always a story.
For Mag Gun, it is the story of an engineer father and his son.
Without it, Mag Gun may still be the impossible dream of FPS gamers.


The founder of G-Mate was once only a FPS gamer and an engineer who enjoyed quality family time with his son playing shooting games. A couple of years ago, he and his son went to a mega electronic game shopping mall, he believed that there must be something like a "Gun" for FPS games and his son was also anticipating a gun for his new game. It turned out to be a disappointing shopping experience. However long, hard and patient he wandered in the center, he could find nothing like a gun to replace the joystick. He was shocked and puzzled why there was no such obvious option - Gun for FPS world.


Since then, he and his team of engineers started working on the first, second and many other prototypes in their workshop and eventually figured out why Mag Gun was almost a mission impossible. The difficulty of generating and delivering the precise shooting position of FPS Gamer to the receiver of the game consoles is always the epic battle for many game designers who want to fulfill the dream of FPS Gamers.

However after months of dedication and hard work, the father engineer finally overcame all the major obstacles with the latest technogy of motion sensor chips and the application of gyroscope.

In 2010, Mag Gun was officially launched and it is ,without doubt, the labour of love.

Mag Gun is now not only the bond between a father and a son, but also the dream come true among the millions of FPS Gamers.

Mag Gun - Not a Light Gun, but a New New Thing in Gun Controller.

There is a confusion that Mag Gun is a light gun or a revival of it. It is not!! It is a new new thing.

Mag Gun is the latest species of control device in the FPS game world, which could adapt to whatever latest technology, software or screen and offer us the new sensation of being a real soldier.

Light Gun had its glory but it is history. Let us have a look at how it works and why it ceases to be an option for FPS Gamers:

1. Light Gun works with CRT Monitors and only CRT Monitors.

However, Mag Gun works with all monitors or screens, including CRT, LCD, LED, OLED, DLP, SED, QLED, DTV, FED, HDTV, Plasma TV or any Projector Screen.

2. Light Gun is based on a light sensor technology.

"The trick to this method lies in the nature of the cathode ray tube inside the video monitor......... When the player pulls the trigger, the computer (often assisted by the display circuitry) times how long it takes the electron beam to excite the phosphor at the location at which the gun is pointed. The light gun sends a signal after sensing the sudden small change in brightness of a point on the screen when the electron gun refreshes that spot. The computer then calculates the targeted position based on the monitor's horizontal refresh rate (the fixed amount of time it takes the beam to get from the left to right side of the screen). ........Once the computer knows where the gun is pointed, it can tell through collision detection if it coincides with the target or not."

Wikipedia on light gun.

However, Mag Gun is based on a new technology called virtual positioning with 5 motion detection chips inside Mag Gun recording the motion, direction, speed and flow of gamer movement and position. Our new pointing device works by itself without the constraint of using any particular kind of screen.

3. Light Gun could not function well in an environment being too bright or with the CRT smaller than 14 inch.

However, Mag Gun works well with any environment, indoor or outdoor where it is too dark or too bright. With Mag Gun, the size of your screen or watching device doesn't matter.

4. Light Gun doesn't work properly when you are pointing at the margin of the screen.

Mag Gun offer you no boundary when you are targeting the enemies in FPS Games.

5. Light Gun works well only with old-time games like "Duck-Hut" or "Virtua Cop/ Virtua Squad".

Mag Gun works with all FPS games like The House of Dead III, Battlefield, Far Cry, Mass Effect, Avatar , Modern Warfare , Call of Duty and etc.

6. Light Gun works only with 2D games.

However, Mag Gun works with all 2D or 3D games.
