Question about light guns
(1/2) > >>
Hituro:
So I recently bought some of the light guns from Ultimarc, and I was wondering what I could use for holsters for the guns.  A lot of holsters I found on Happ and other sites and top mounting.  Meaning they mount on top of the control panel.  I know most arcades are like this, but I was wanting to mount holsters for the guns on the sides of my cabinet.  Just wondering for those of you who play shooters on your cabs, what you did or suggest doing for gun holsters.

You could get some top mount holsters and figure a way to mount them to the sides with a simple bracket, or you might consider real leather holsters depending on the guns you bought, and mount them to the sides. I thought about getting light guns one day, and if I do I though about a door on each side that opens up and stores the guns (and cables) in there. That way you dont have cables hanging off the side of your cabinet and guns getting knocked off or bumped into. Just open the door, reach in, grab the gun and pull the cable out with it, then when your done, slide the cable back in, put the gun away, close the door. just my thoughts. Good Luck.

I am using to playstation 2 guncon guns on my cabinet. I have to usb and video ports mounted in a panel inside 1 of the coin return areas of my coin door. I keep my guns in the coin box in the bottom portion of my coin door. Then I just pull them out and plug them and when I want to use them.  This would not work so well however, if you are actually using your coin slots

I love this idea! I have not thought about using USB guncons for PS2, I might have to invest in running a video port next to my usb ports (for mouse and keyboard if needed) but thats a great idea! Just plug and play when needed. Did you use a splitter for the vid and just extend it? if so does it degrade the quality when split 3 times(2 for guns and 1 for the display) I am interested in making this my next project.

Just trace your gun on paper, look for key locations for weight balance, and make the template, then screw to sides of cabinet.  I have two pins holding my LCD Top Gun horizontally to the cabinet, and two more attaching the holster - and it is real easy to store and a great way to protect the gun.  Cable management is another story.  ;D

I modeled mine from Happ:
