Light Phaser off screen function?

[Kaunisto]

A PS2 game had a system that you reload by shooting away from from screen and this got me wondering if any SMS game has similar. That there would be a function on pulling LP trigger when not pointed at screen. Is that technically possible? I would imagine so as in Safari Hunt for example it flashes the screen (due the way LP works) but doesn't spend a bullet.

In short, does any SMS game do anything for shooting away from screen?

None of those games I have played, have such functions, not what I remember.

I suspect that was more that they hadn't had the idea. My guess is that if the light gun doesn't 'hit' the screen (or perhaps I should say the light from the screen hits the gun)... that it just reloads.

Thankfully this forum has some experts that will explain this properly, and had probably drunk less whisky than me.
