EMS Top Gun 3 (Lightgun) Issues

[CoryBee]

I got a top gun 3 arcade gun recently and have experienced a few issues.

After the first 45 minutes of use playing random gun games the gun stopped getting recognized. I was confused at first but then began to work out what it could be. Uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers a couple times and made sure everything was getting power. The gun recoils, lights up and buttons work but wouldn't move the cursor.

I finally took it apart as my next guess was that the camera module got disconnected. I was right, the recoil kick disconnected one of the wires from the camera.





I fixed it the first time by just soldering it back on, but after a few minutes of use the recoil kicked it off again. I then extended the wire and soldered it again. It has stayed on for the last few weeks.



Here is the issue I am having now that I can't decide what to do to fix it. Every-time I pull the trigger the gun recoils twice now. I tried flattening the spring and extending it out but nothing is working. It is quite annoying, any ideas?
