Models

The original versions for Sega and Nintendo's consoles were modeled after the replica revolvers used in the original arcade version of Lethal Enforcers. The blue Justifier gun connects directly to the console. Optionally, a pink Justifier can be daisy chained into the blue gun rather for use by a second player. The PlayStation version of the lightgun (Sony ID: SLEH-00005, SLUH-00017) is green in color and only works in the first controller slot on the original design of the PlayStation 2. The green Justifier was also the first light gun for on the PlayStation, the second being Namco's GunCon.
