When the trigger is pulled, the screen flashes black for a period of 1-2 frames while displaying a white rectangle (indicating the target to shoot at). If the gun detects it is pointing at the white rectangle, it tells the game to register a hit. On real hardware, this could be quite unreliable unless the lenses were thoroughly clean. The Zapper plugged into the P2 port and mainly worked with old CRT TVs; newer LCD TVs will not register with the Zapper.
