A new lightgun?

Notice that I move the gun all over the place.

Thanks for posting that. This accentuates one of my concerns. In my experience, your video shows a more natural gun handling and is in fairly sharp contrast to the way the gun in the Mr Lightgun's video is being used. If I used the gun in the same manner with my old TopGun setup, I don't know that the results would be different. This constraint was precisely why I retired the setup. It just wasn't fun having to be conscious of my position and movements, and in no way reflects how one would actually shoot a pistol.
Mr Lightgun, if this isn't a requirement for the accuracy of your setup, the way you are demonstrating it probably isn't going to do you any favors. The accuracy looks very good, so I hope you can show something a little more along the lines of Badmouth's video. I think he just gave you the bar you need to strive for.
BadMouth:
A go pro mounted in line with the sights to show the bullets hitting where the sights are aimed would go a long way.
Aim-Traks get farther off toward the corners and edges, so make a point of showing lots of shots to those areas.
Uncut series of shots moving all over the place of course.
I don't have the time right now, but will post more thoughts later tonight or tomorrow night.

I think what they are getting at Mr Lightgun is could you do some test videos while you are moving around constantly.
Having done this myself and tried to video it I know how damn hard it is!
However what I did was put different coloured tape on the front and rear sights so you can differentiate then on a black windows desktop aim the white mouse around the extremes of the screen while moving around left to right etc.
Do that and it should pretty much cover any doubts over its tracking.

PC based or console based?
On a side note hes done another video with Virtua Cop and no crosshairs.
The border is more visible in this one but does not take away from the game I dont think, Hell you are only really going to notice if you look for it 99% people prob wont even notice it.

PC - Mame emulated. The last guns I am aware of where the Act Labs guns (Which have been discontinued). I assume this gun will be for emulation as well. All the fuss over LCD to me is crazy since there is no current option for CRT's.

Yeah PC based is a bit of a downer atm.
But by the sounds Mr Lightguns solution may change that! (Heres hoping...)
In the meantime have you tried the guncon 2 to pc?
Consoles on CRT are still very much supported though.
Ive just finished modifying this justifier to work as a P2 gun on my mega cd.
Hope it works now....
