A gun suitable for games is disclosed for permitting an operator to recognize
when
a trigger is pulled. A target signal receiver receives a target signal sent from
a target for causing the gun to recognize that the gun is opposite the target,
and notifies a controller that the target signal receiver has received the target
signal. Upon detection of a manipulation by the operator, the controller a forces
shooting device to perform a shooting operation, and instructs an information generator
to generate recognition information. The shooting device emits an optical bullet
formed of a light ray. The recognition information generator drives a solenoid
to bring associated members into impact against each other to permit the operator
to recognize that the operation has been performed.
