From the Manufacturer
Introducing the PlayStation 3 ; PlayStation Move Assault Rifle Controller from CTA Digital
An Assault Rifle Controller for modern first person shooters
To truly face virtual war zones head on, you'll need the right equipment. Introducing the PlayStation 3 ; PlayStation Move Assault Rifle Controller from CTA Digital. Our unique rifle controller has every button featured on a standard PlayStation 3 DualShock controller, including clickable thumb sticks for strafing, running, steadying your weapon and looking around within the game environment. Even Move games are supported with the included Move Motion Controller cradle, so no matter what the game play calls for you are prepared.
Take your first person shooting gameplay to the next level.
A striking Dessert Sand and Matte Black color scheme that includes a removable scope, and removable shoulder stock give you the look you want, and the option to disassemble the rifle controller.
Assault rifle looks and the functionality of your DualShock controller is built right into the rifle controller body for games like Call of Duty . The rifle can also function as a Move Navigation controller for games like MAG, and Killzone 3.
Wireless USB dongle antenna included
It also includes a built-in speaker; the assault rifle controller comes alive with gunfire sounds when you pull the trigger (single shot, three shot burst, and fully automatic modes are selectable). These sound effects can be activated even if the Assault Rifle Controller is not synced with the PlayStation 3 Console, for a fun standalone novelty. These sound effects can also be turned off using a dedicated switch on the side of the rifle controller.
While playing games a vibration effect is felt when ever shots are fired.
Designed for a soldier, built for a gamer
More than just a controller shaped like an assault rifle, The CTA Digital Assault Rifle Controller provides a level of immersion and realism which is unique and fun for the user. The average shooting game can be transformed into a much more visceral and realistic experience, which is perfect for gamers looking for something new to conquer.

• Wireless -To sync wirelessly, plug the USB dongle antenna into an open USB port on the PlayStation 3 console and press the Home button on the Assault Rifle.
• On Screen Equipment - Using the assault rifle controller is great for games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 because what you have in your hands in real life finally matches what is in your hands on screen.
• PlayStation Move Compatibility - Virtually any PlayStation Move enabled shooting game will work great because you will be able to aim at the screen, and pull the trigger on the rifle to accurately aim and fire at your on screen targets.
• Easy to use - We designed the Assault Rifle Controller to be user friendly. Every button on the PlayStation 3 DualShock controller, including the D Pad, Start, Select and Home buttons are on the rifle.
• Realism - Using the Assault Rifle Controller completely redefines the game play.
• Reaction Based Game Play - Getting to squeeze on actual trigger while playing first person shooting games is just another reason why this controller is on another level.

The feeling of playing first person shooter games will never be the same
The controller works great with PlayStation Move games. Just attach the cradle and insert a Move Motion controller to play Move compatible shooting titles, such as MAG, Killzone 3, Time Crisis: Razing Storm, Dead Space: Extraction and SOCOM 4. The unique dual trigger system of the Assault Rifle controls the Move Motion controller’s T button.
In addition, the rest of the rifle can mimic the functions of a Move navigation controller. So there is no need to purchase the Move Navigation controller for shooting games.

Customer Reviews

I don't write many reviews, but right now there are only 3 reviews for this product and 2 of them are (unbelievably) 5 stars. I was moved by CTA's response to the 1 star review (I figured they must really believe in the product if they wanted to address the complaints), so I decided buy this rifle instead of the $30 one. Although not very articulate, the 1 star reviewer is basically correct. The other 2 reviews, especially the "Grand Canyon" reviewer, sound like commercials from people working for CTA.
The plastic feels very cheap. I didn't expect carbon fiber, but for $60, it doesn't have the quality feel of the other PS3 controllers or accessories that I have. My kids toy rifles have a better build quality.
If you want to use the Move Controller (which is basically the point), you connect a side accessory that adds a 2nd trigger, which is a little weird. The two are separated by about 1/2 inch, like old double barrel shotguns, so you can't pull both at the same time, although I guess you wouldn't really want to.
With the Move attached, the "zwink" reviewer is right that it's a very narrow space to then try to use the L1, x, o, triangle and square buttons on the gun (although they are all on the Move controller except for the L1). It basically makes these buttons useless.
The Left thumbstick is on the left side of the barrel, so if the game requires you to move with this (like Dangerous Hunts does), it's impossible to control this and your buttons on the Move Controller (see above) at the same time (ie- can't move and reload, change guns, etc). This wasn't a problem for Killzone 3, because if you use the Move Controller for that game, it lets you use R1 to move your guy (which is where your right thumb is near the trigger).
When I seated the Move Controller completely in the holder, it wouldn't fire at all. I tried this multiple times and finally was able to get it to work by not completely seating it down in the holder and rotating it slightly to one side. Looking at the trigger mechanism, it again looks like poor build quality.
The trigger for the Move Controller is a little sluggish to respond. No big deal with a machine gun, but when you need to fire in rapid succession (Dangerous Hunts and The Shoot both depend on this) it's a significant problem. The Playstation Move - Dual Shot are much more responsive, as is the Move Controller by itself.
It comes with a scope, but you can't even look through it (plastic in the middle). I really don't care, but why put it there if you can't see through it?
It is a plus that you don't have to use Move Navigation Controller because it basically acts like a Dual Shock or Move Navigation Controller. They talk about using it instead of a Dual Shock Controller for shooting games like Call of Duty, etc. I didn't try this (I got too fed up with it), but I really can't picture anyone sitting there going through Black Ops with this thing instead of the regular controller. The lay out and feel of the buttons would make it too difficult to move, aim, and shoot quickly.
The pairing with the PS3 was quick and easy.
It does vibrate and make shooting sounds that you can turn on and off - yeah.
I really don't like bashing someone's product, but on the other hand I don't want anyone else to waste their time and money (although Amazon's return policy is awesome - I have returned it and am going to go with one of the other rifles).
ADDENDUM: You would think that I've got better ways to spend my time, but I went through the reviews for the other CTA PS3 rifles PS3 Assault Rifle Controller and PlayStation Move Submachine Gun and almost all of the 5 star reviews have the same tone ("Awesome," "rocks the house", "best ever")as the ones here, and, similarly, are written by people with only one review in their profile. 2 of the people with multiple reviews ("fat jay" and "dave the maven") have almost all of their reviews for CTA products (surprisingly, all are unequivocally 5 stars).
I don't know why this bothers me, but it does. These are obviously CTA employees (although when others have called them out, they deny it). It's not like we're dealing with physicians, but shouldn't there be some ethics involved? Shouldn't the quality of the products and the independent reviews speak for themselves (which they obviously do if you take out the phony 5 star reviews)? I'm now going to go out of my way to avoid any CTA products in the future. Ironically, looking at the reviewer profiles, I found out that CTA also makes Wii Inflatable Kart - Red, which both of my kids got for Christmas - one never stayed inflated and both had the steering wheels brake off within 2 weeks because of cheap build quality.

I have been trying to make this gun work but it's the worst piece of junk I ever paid for. The gun looks all realistic and nice from the picture but when it arrives you'll notice how poorly and cheap this gun was made. How it's warrants a $60 price has me scratching my head for the longest time.
Now when you go to put the move attachment on, place the move control in, or remove the attachment you need to be really careful because the prongs that attach it to the gun itself break out. I found myself after three days breaking out the hot glue gun to hold it in place but because of removing the Move controller to charge or play a different game the hot glue rips out.
As far as gameplay goes the gun again fails.. When you squeeze the trigger your character on the screen unloads the entire clip for some reason. The button placement on the gun is all out of place you found yourself using the move controller, the gun buttons etc because of how out of place the button on the gun are. Now the buttons side of the barrel weren't designed for adult gamers because once the move is in place you can barely get your hand to other side of the barrel. The scope on the game is basically pointless and must take off to even get your gun calibrated on a move shooting game because it makes your aim all out of wack.
Stay far away from this junk piece of crap gun if I were amazon I would be feel bad for my customers who even paid $60 for this and refunded them $60.
