| What is a "positional gun" |

| fredster:
The guns on Terminator 2 are not optical guns, they are basically joysticks. Is that what a "positional gun" is? Games like T2 and perhaps Operation wolf, are these guns just a joystick with a fake gun mounted on it or is the control actually different? Are they analog or what? |

Operation Wolf is really a lightgun, although it is mounted like a positional gun. |

I have a T2, but I didn't tear into the guns except to service the button. Do they have pots in them instead of digital switches? So you can't use them in a Mame project unless you use something called "analog" mame? |
| SirPoonga:
you can use any joystick that is pot based in mame. You need to interface it so windows see it as a joystick. This is easy to do for gameport joysticks, get the gameport specs and wire up correctly. For USB you will need to hack a usb joystick. |
