on wikipedia:
When the trigger was pulled, the game blanked out the screen with a black background for one frame, then, for one additional frame, drew a solid white rectangle around the sprite the user was supposed to be shooting at. The photodiode at the back of the Zapper would detect these changes in intensity and send a signal to the NES to indicate whether it was over a lit pixel or not. A drop followed by a spike in intensity signaled a hit. Multiple sprites were supported by flashing a solid white rectangle around each potential sprite, one per frame.

I was wondering the same thing and I found this...
"Here's what happens. You shoot at a duck, which appears on an ordinary TV screen. The gun is connected to the game console; pressing the trigger blackens the screen, then causes a duck-shaped white target to appear momentarily. If your aim is true, a photo sensor in the gun detects the shift from dark to light, and bingo--dead duck. In short, the TV emits the light pulse and the gun detects it, not the other way around."

Magic.
Also, I heard they're coming out with a new version of Duck Hunt for Wii called "Dick Cheney's Duck and Lawyer Hunt."

If you look inside the tip you can see a light that will turn on when you shoot the gun. It's like when you use your remote, it has that light whenever you push a button.

Not sure it might have a sensor that finds where you shot. Sorry I couldn't help.
