About
Lethal Enforcers II: Gun Fighters, known in Japan as Lethal Enforcers 2: The Western, is a 1994 light gun shooter video game developed and published by Konami for arcades. It is a prequel to the original Lethal Enforcers (1992); in contrast with the first game's modern law enforcement theme, Lethal Enforcers II takes place in the American Old West.
Ports of the game were released for the Sega Genesis and Sega CD. The game was bundled along with the first Lethal Enforcers game as part of the PlayStation compilation Lethal Enforcers I & II. A Super NES version of the game was also announced that same year, but was unreleased. Years later, Konami released Lethal Enforcers 3.

Gameplay
In this game, the goal is to shoot outlaws in order to eradicate crime from a stereotypical town in the American West of 1873. At the beginning of the game, three to five life units are available. In the arcade version, more can be purchased by inserting additional coins. Life units are also awarded based on how many points the player scores while playing the game.
Every time the player, an innocent townsfolk or lawman is shot, one life unit will be lost. The game ends when all life units are gone, but continued play is available.
Reception
In North America, RePlay reported Lethal Enforcers II: Gun Fighters to be the fourth most popular upright arcade game of May 1994, and Play Meter listed it as the ninth most popular arcade game of June 1994. In Japan, Game Machine listed it as the seventh most successful upright/cockpit arcade unit of November 1994.
GamePro gave the Genesis version a perfect 5 out of 5 in all four categories (graphics, sound, control, and fun factor), citing the variety of weapons and their individually distinct firing patterns, sharp digitized sprites, realistic backgrounds, and the quality build and accuracy of the Justifier peripheral, which they felt worked better with Lethal Enforcers II than with the original game. Electronic Gaming Monthly rated the Genesis version 31 out of 50, commenting positively on the two-player mode and variety of weapons.
