Try to get your hands on some actlabs arcade guns,they are meant for crts.they are hard to find because they arent produced anymore.you need the gun and a vga box per gun.you can also look into using ps2 guncon 2.the guncon 2 isnt just plug and play,it takes a custom circuit to get it working on arcade monitors,i hear its been done but is a nightmare to setup.

Yeah the actslab with vga box works fine for CRT.
I used to use one on a multisync vga and it worked great.

I prefer it over my aimtrak with sensor on lcd
