First Home-Console Light Gun: Shooting Gallery
"Created in 1968 by Ralph Baer (USA), and sold commercially in 1972, Shooting Gallery, which was made for the Magnavox Odyssey, was the world's first home-console light gun. A life-sized realistic hunting rifle that had to be cocked before each shot, it also has the distinction of being the largest home-console light gun. Only four games were released for the gun: Shootout, Dogfight, Prehistoric Safari, and Shooting Gallery. It is estimated that only 20,000 guns were ever sold."
