Dear Steve,
Thank you for your enquiry, here are the answer for the tech question :
Q : Does the laser beam have to be 'ON' all the time to play a game
correctly? I believe if the pointer is always on, it will make the game too
easy. If the laser pointer has the option to be off until the trigger is
pulled, then I will surely buy the guns.
A : There is a switch on the gun to turn the laser beam ON / OFF. The gun
could work perfectly even you turn the laser beam off. Please note that in
the calibration mode, you could calibrate the gun with the laser beam off.
But you should connect the power cable for the vibration function, such
that
the gun would vibrate for once to indicate the success of each step in the
calibration process.
If you want take an order, please tell to us how many you need and delivery
to where?
We would count the charge for you.
Best Regards
Melody

Looking at the specs, it seems this may be the best lightgun ever
1) Works on Any display. CRT, LCD, Projected..ect!
2) It uses several ?Infered? sensors for good accuracy?...
3) Laser site for easier targeting and best calibration - and can be turned off
4) Can have 2 players at the same time
5) Recoil! (ok, vibration.. but still...
)
6) Normal, Auto-Fire, and Auto-Reload Modes!
7) Claims mame compatibility
8 ) 5 buttons + 1 trigger + a "d-pad" !!!
9) Works with PC, Xbox, and PS2
Ive wrote one more email to ask about the type of technology they use to make it function. Will write more after she responds.
