What kind of "Atari gun" is this? May not be for 2600

I saw this in an ebay auction:

Here's the auction:

Looks like a typical Atari-ish jack. Would it work on a 2600? Not sure what this goes to.

It's for a Famiclone. Probably a PowerJoy.

EDIT: And no, it doesn't work on Atari.

Was there even any gun games for the 2600 bitd? I think there are some homebrew light gun games but you'll need an atari computer gun. They have the same hookup.

 

That looks like one of the famclone guns and stock I doubt it would work. But you might could mod it. I made an adapter years ago to adapt a mastersystem lightgun without modding the gun itself...of course then I never got a lightgun game so I have no idea if it works other than theory.

I am offended at the word gun it seems too violent to even pronounce.

 

I use a xegs lightpen.

Sentinel and Shooting Arcade, IIRC.

Really? Cool. I'll have to look into those then

Shooting Gallery was unreleased IIRC, but I think the ROM is out there if you've got a Harmony Cart.

 

EDIT: I mean the Atari Corp. prototype, not the Imagic cart.
