I wish I could answer this for you but as you can I see, I never did get an answer either. From what I have gathered I think it depends on the gun and the tint of the glass as to whether it works on not. Hit and miss I would say but no one has really came forward and said, I have tinted glass, this light gun and it works.

I was using 1/4" smoked plexiglass. Can't find my receipt to tell you exactly how dark it was, but it was dark enough so you couldn't see the Sony 27" TV behind it.
I also have two Act Labs lightguns, so I can tell you first hand that the smoked plexi made the guns work poorly. So poorly, in fact, that I replaced the plexi with clear glass and made a bezel instead.
The light guns work great now. I don't know if thinner or less dark plexi would make a difference or not.

Haven't been back to this thread in ages. I appreciate the food advice, suggestions that maybe it's not so bad for my kid to eat glass, etc. I'll still be opting for the responsible-parent path, though. Clearly you guys haven't experienced the same glass disasters I have. Maybe I'll go for glass once the kids are older -- 7-8 years or so should do it given that more little ones hopefully will be arriving in the future. ;D
Still no answer to my question though: Has anyone messed around with tint film -- and if so, how did it turn out?

Thanks for this accout. This pretty much seals the deal for me. Gotta have me some Leathal Enforcers.

I used clear glass on my cocktail. I've never had a problem with glare. I brought the top of the machine into the glass shop and they cut it to fit.
