There are plenty of options.  Ultimarc sells the AIM-Trac which you can install into anything that looks like a gun and has a trigger....(at least I think thats how it works...) There are ACT Labs guns you can use, there is the TopGun as well.  I bought a Top gun because I have a LCD in my Cab, but I never installed it into my cab, i used it with my PS2 a little to play Time Crisis.  I have heard a lot of people say they do not like the top gun because you have to stand far away from the screen. I know people have also tried fixing this issue with Wide angle lenses.  One of the main reasons I got the Top Gun was because I could use it on any screen, and it has slider recoil when a shot is fired.

I don't think you can get anything better than the Ultimarc Aim-Trak.

Check out www.arcadeguns.com

That's what I bought to put in my cab to use on my LCD. They're working out great and use the aimtrak technology. They do hook up to USB but don't have recoil.

There are ACT Labs guns you can use
Not that I'm aware of.  The Act Lab guns work on CRT monitors not on LCD's as the topic title requests.

Aimtraks works with Starsky & Hutch PC or Cow Hunter?

Thanks for the answer.

Looks pretty sweet can this not be modified to work with aimtrak kit? and if it is would it keep its recoil feature?

The EMS Topguns are lame. Great idea, but for emulation cabinet use they suck. Require frequent calibration, accuracy suffers often and too hard to set up in a consistent way between emulators or PC games.

I agree.  I just wish someone told me this before I bought my pair.
