Features and functionality
The NES Zapper worked by blanking the screen with nothing but pixels of either black or white. The screen shows this as a quick flash of light (lasting less than a second), in which a camera in the Zapper records the pixel value it is facing on the screen.
The zapper then sends the information to the System through the attached cord.

A series of weapons based on the NES Zapper, the "N-ZAP" series, were added to the game after release. Three variants of this weapon exist: the N-ZAP '85, based on the original design of the Zapper; the N-ZAP '89, based on the orange re-release of the Zapper; and the N-ZAP '83, an NES Zapper modeled after a Family Computer controller.
