Is there any possibility of using Guncon or Guncon 2 on your PC with mame?  Guncon 2 is a USB gun but from what I understand drivers are not found.

My initial guess would be no.
The USB guns made specifically for the PC are part of the monitor system, as well as part of the control system.

They have a box that connects between the computer and monitor/TV, that allows the gun to "see" the location of the shot.

I think that function is handled by the PSX itself, when the guns are connected to it.

Holy friggin crap!  If I see this question posted one more time I'm going to tweek out...

The answer has always and will always be "NO YOU CAN NOT DO THAT!"

Mod: please add this to the most commonly asked stupid question list in big arse bold letters so it is not asked any more.
If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen
