Really MisterXausDE did a great job by combining a standard Wii shell with a see-through XCM Hot Rock case. With this not only he was able to preserve the main design features of the Wii, but at the same time he  incorporated a cutout Wii logo and a color-cycling disc slot loading mechanism.

PEWtastic: an Amazing Wiimote Hacked Gun mod

Many of the "Gunframes" that game accessory companies make for Wii FPS games are not really up to snuff. These gunframes are meant to make the Wii controls like actual guns, but they end up with the B or trigger button, and ignore the other controls.

WeeP5 has solved this problem and is actually a fully functional Wiimote. In this the B button is the trigger, A button is under the foregrip, 1 and 2 are on opposite sides near the front, the D-pad and Wii remote are jutting out of the left side, and the +, -, and home buttons are on the top just above the ammo clip.
