| “ | The N-ZAP '83 is an N-ZAP '85 that Sheldon modified to faithfully recreate a classic limited-edition piece. It's so faithful, in fact, that players think the buttons might stick a bit sometimes... But that's not a bug – it's a feature, right? The Point Sensor and Kraken make for a set that is handy for cutting off your opponents' advance.

Trivia
- This weapon is based on the early 1983 version of the Family Computer, which has square
and 
buttons. - As opposed to the N-ZAP '85 and the N-ZAP '89, the N-ZAP '83 has no real-world equivalent due to the Famicom's zapper being modeled and colored to resemble a real-world revolver.
