BadMouth:
I'm not sure if I still have it around somewhere, but I started throwing together a gun info thread a while back. I never posted it because there were so many aspects of it that I didn't personally have any experience with.
I still think we need a gun sub-forum.

What I'd like to do for now is to gather all the info in one place, even if it's not organized yet.

What I want to do in this thread is post links to every gun thread out there, along with a description of what the thread is about.
From there, we can start to organize things.
This will be a somewhat disorganized roundup of info, but it is the first step.

example:

DudeRegular:
Agree on a gun subforum. I would include info for the following topics for your master thread:
CRT vs LCD for gun games
Common problems/misconceptions
Aimtrack config
Pro's and Con's of IR based solutions
List of supported titles for MAME, Demul, console, etc

Titchgamer:
Great idea.

I would also include the things like demul shooter and the other one (forgot name)
Plus also how to configure demul shooter to boot with HS etc.
