The positional guns used in those games were connected to a joystick, and could actually be aimed at the screen.
As you pulled back on the gun, the sights went higher, and the gun aimed higher in the game.
As you twisted the stick the sights went left and right, and the gun went left and right in the game.
This one is literally a gun shaped mouse.
You can twist it and turn it all you want, and it won't move the point of aim in the game, unless you slide it across a surface like a mouse.

I thought there must be an embedded trackball in the gun base, so that when you rotate the gun, it moves the trackball, and therefore functions as a mouse.
But if it's as you say ... just a regular mouse with a useless toy gun sitting on top of it ... then Ginsu Victim's spot on, it truly is a piece of junk.
:o

Your description is harsh. You mightn't like the product, but that doesn't make it junk.

I called it junk because it wasn't even a real gun.....as you've come to realize.

First you have to buy one of the guns.
That style gun was on Operation Wolf, Operation Thunderbolt, Terminator 2, and alot of other games like that.
You can recognize them because the gun is mounted to the control panel with a stick coming out the bottom, usually to a large rectangular base.
The optical light guns are usually tethered to the cabinet by a long cable.
Once you have the gun, you will need to interface it to the computer.
That can be done with the A-pac from Ultimarc, the AKI from DaveB, or by doing a controller hack like you would for a Star Wars Yoke.
The goal is to convert the analog data from the gun base to something usable by the computer.
The gun is literally a big analog joystick.
It has two axes, which correspond to horizontal and vertical aiming adjustment in the game.
