Honest opinions about topgun II for lcd tv use?
Rossman:
Some guys on the hyperspin forums say that they're really good, they have recoil build in, and act like a normal light gun should act... When the aimtrack came out, I really didn't understand why I would choose a DIY when the topgun 2 looks so much better. Gotta love the recoil. Buying two soon.

Haven't tried the aimtrack, but I am VERY happy with my Topgun 2s. I'm running 2 of them on my mame cab and they work great. Two things though, the recoil is a little cheesy, I leave it off most of the time. And they are made of plastic and feel a little flimsy, but I'm not hardcore lightgun enthusiast so it doesn't bother me in the slightest. I've dropped them plenty of times and they're still holding up fine.
Make sure you do your research before making a purchase though, it took me a few hours to get them up and running because the driver situation is pretty wonkey at best. Overall, I'm very happy with them and my friends and I love playing point blank or area 51 with some cool looking guns.

That's sort of what I figured, because they seemd to work fine on the videos I found on youtube and have great reviews. Unfortunately I just found out they don't work on 64bit systems D:
There are a few ppl selling the ultimarc ones on the hyperspin board, but it's about 250 for a paire of rebuilt guncons. Don't get me wrong, they look really nice (the ones I saw were painted and looked very nice).. I just can't afford 250 (compared to about 110 for two of these).
Oh well, guess i'll have to wait until ultimarc releases their one prebuilt light guns

Shattered...I have a 64-bit system as well and was wondering about getting one or two light guns as well. Where did you find your info on the guns? (aside from here)
