An interesting incident occurred in South Carolina. 25-year-old David Dalesandro entered a store and pointed the gun at the cashier, asking him to give him all the money in the safe. The remarkable detail in this rather ordinary scenario is that the man committed the robbery with the NES Zapper.
You must remember the NES Zapper from Nintendo’s classic eight-bit duck shooter Duck Hunt. The laser gun in question allowed us to shoot the ducks that appeared on the screen. This accessory, which uses an optical sensor, became a tool for a real robbery.
Painted the gun black
It is stated that David spray-painted the gun black in order not to arouse suspicion and add seriousness to the incident. He disguised himself with a combination of mask, wig and hoodie. As a result, he managed to steal $300 by scaring the cashier.
The 25-year-old suspect, who managed to escape after the incident, was caught by the police teams soon after. The NES Zapper was found on Dalesandro, who had been caught in a parking lot, but he had already spent $300. The arrested person faces a prison sentence.
