They have no markings on them and have a genesis connector on the cord. Anyone have any idea what they were from?

Autobots. Roll out.
I believe those are from one of those Power-Joy type Famiclones.
Yep, that's what they are.
so should they be recycled back into the earth?

How is the build quality? If you threw an adapter/cord on there, would it work with a regular NES? Would be a neat thing to 'wow' my non-collector friends with, even if it's not the best peripheral.

Many of the nes/famiclones use similar guns:

I wonder how well these lightguns work at the best of times. When I was in Southeast Asia recently I picked up a famiclone but passed on the console bundled with a lightgun as the cord for the gun seemed quite stupidly short. Pair that with a short reach power supply and a/v cables that offer a stretch of maybe four feet from the power outlet to the TV and I see these being pretty frustrating accessories. Worth a shot on an NES if you have the proper adapter, though.

That's probably where they came from.
Selling gaming accessories. Click
Certainly true enough for the Famicom and space conscious Japanese homes, but in this case, I think the silly short cables have more to do with a cost-cutting measure than anything. These flimsy famiclone accessories are of a dollar store electronics calibur of build quality.
Hmm..could be a good project. I wish I didn't have so many projects already. I like the casing, could probably fix it up a bit.
