New Lightgun Testing - What would you like to see?
TOMMYGUN:
When i search lightguns in Google i see many black ones including Aimtrack, so it could be a possibility, who is realy going to check if a lightgun is black or red, and then issue fines..
Or they could advertise it differently find a loophole in the system, and sell it as replica's with usb cable :D
Or they can sell it as a kit, with a little bottle of black car paint, or even Alclad chrome
TimeCrisis:
if he focuses on full arcade recoil and turns it into a premium item in the £300+ range it would be good.
we should wait for the rasperri pi to emulate dreamcast and ps2 with mouse understanding so it works with the lightgun, if it works withuot the plugin hassle that would be great.
full support for 5:4 monitors with the pi should put it on the map for a dediated ligthgun arcade cabinet with some minor letterboxing, and can cover with bezel.

No, no it wouldn't. People are complaining that light gun solutions currently available are way too expensive. If they ballooned to +300 virtually no one would buy them.

FYI, the raspberry Pi is slowly being phased out of the emulation scene (thank goodness!). It's going to be superseded by more powerful FPGA solutions like the Mister, which is built for emulation first and foremost, rather than the Pi that was originally created as a cheap desktop computer solution.

As much as I'd love to have a realistic looking light gun, I remember a traumatizing memory of when I was 15 and my friends and I were playing "guns" in the park. We had our toy guns that we spray painted black and looking pretty legit. A police car was driving by and saw us with these guns, immediately stopped, the officer got out and drew his gun on us, yelling at us to drop our toy guns and get on the ground.
We complied of course, pretty much shitting our pants at the time. After the officer "secured the scene", he looked at our toys and said to us "if you guys had raised these things when I was ordering you to drop them, I would have shot you". I was 15! I never played with realistic looking toy guns again. :lol

Doing something like that in a park isn't very smart anyway, but if the color of a toy is all that stands between cops drawing on kids, there's a much larger problem. Also, you might need to be 18 to purchase a BB gun, but most of them are purchased for minors. I had one since I was 10.
It's not even a matter of not being a minor, though. If it's a "toy" (i.e. not real gun (Pellet, BB or other), or "replica" for a collector) it has to be defaced. That includes "toys" purchased by non-minors.
