I have a better response to thie original question:

Whats the point?  Show me a lightgun game that lasts more than an hour to play through the entire way.

I would say ~ 30-45 minutes is the time it takes to beat the average rail shooter. Space Gun takes forever! By the time you are done with 45 minutes of gameplay; it actually does sort of hurt.

I'm still hoping to find a good solution similar to some of the old snes guns (the bazooka one).  

It had something over the TV... and you had to calibrate it... but afterwards it didn't flash when you pressed the trigger!

This would be SWEET for many reasons

1) No flash!
2) Better chance at 2 player support (because of the flash)
3) Works on TV's -> VGA's -> LCDs -> Projectors (hopefully)
4) maybe even holding down the trigger support!!!! for T2 and such games!!!!

Anyway, I would LOVE a company to come out with one!  I would buy a 2 player setup in a second... (a second after I talk my wife into letting me buy it that is :)

I have talked with Act-Labs about this... The shinning example of these; the one that came to my mind was the NES Powerglove (even though it sucked really bad; and it wasn't a lightgun) It accomplished real time tracking quite well! They said it seems it would be sloppy and there isn't a large enough market for it (there probably isn't). Act-Labs has taken some hits from not being able to move something (check thier clearance out; 2$ console lightguns!!!) maybe they should work on what they have...

besides... what would I do with my bezel?

I noticed that Act-Lab had the light gun for TV and supports 2 player action, anyone have experience with this ?
