Time Pilot:

-1 on the Nintendo Zapper.  That was the first thing I tried.  The AimTrak board will not fit in the barrel easily.  Maybe you could Dremel it out a bit, but there is not much margin to work with.  I didn't push it.

-0.5 on the Sega Light Phasor.  My AimTrak board is in one of those now.  It fit nicely with a small bit of Dremeling of the lens holder.  The issue is that if the Aimtrak board is tucked in far enough so that it doesn't stick out of the barrel, the top part of the barrel blocks the AimTrak's camera when pointed toward the bottom of the screen (the tip of the barrel is angled rather than blunt).  Everything still works, but you have to stand back about 6 feet (27in display) to avoid barrel interference.

Back to shopping...

That is PRECISELY the kind of information I want in this thread! Thank you! Please keep the info coming!


Ginsu Victim:

The Justifier seems like the sensor won't quite fit in the barrel, but it does just fine.

Inside the barrel, there are four "C-shaped" pieces of plastic that need removed in order to make room for the wires. This can easily be done with a pair of pliers.

The trigger switch has a place to run the ground to the start button, so that creates less wire clutter inside.

Above the start button, but on the opposite side of the gun, is a good spot for an extra button. This is reachable enough during gameplay and keeps wire clutter down.

Here is a pic of an Act Labs Gunz (really old).  Has a reload button and auto reload settings as well as a start button.
