ebay it (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=62053&item=8127787244&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW)

They probably discontinued it to focus on the TV gun. The site seems to make it clear that the TV gun can be hooked up to either a PC or a TV, so why have a product that will do just one? This way, they can make one product, charge one price, and be done with it.
-
Did they get rid of both the guns or just the Pc one. cuz i went to the site and i dont see either of them anymore. What the hell am i gonna do now, i was just gonna start buyin all my controls! I was looking forward to house of the deads on Pc, and all the mame shooting games! This is terrible! Ive gotta get one somehow, what hsould i do? I believe i need the TV one, as im using a 27 inch tv.

the tv gun version also says its not compatible with a pc monitor.
-
I dunno guys.
They discontinued my steering wheel too.
Are they on the way out?
-
Well if this company is on the way out, i better purchase my gun before any other controls. Everybody else whos plannin on gettin anything from there better get it quick if there gonna keep discontinuing items.
-
I hope they change the design....make it look more Guncom-ish.
-

-
Can someone email them and ask why?

How do u hook these up?

USB, nice nad easy like... plug it in and play ! :-)
-
It doesnt gotta plug into the tv? im talking about the tv one.
-
It has got a pass throu coupling that you plug in to the grafikscard and then the svideo cable into that.
-
has enyone heard from act-labs?

has enyone heard from act-labs?
Yeah, Here's what they said:
Unfortunately, there were production issues at the factory and we can no longer produce the Light Gun.
So, looks like we're crap out of luck............... ??? ???
-
Anybody know any online retailers that still have these things in stock?
-
looks like these guys have some in stock. I'm in the UK so can't order one (this site is for US/canada only) so if anyone wants to help me out in getting one mail me... please.
NCIX (http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=10884&promoid=0)
-
Both places NCIX and Actlabs are empty of the light guns. Anyone know where I can get one from except from ebay cheap?
Thanks

Good luck even getting one from ebay.

I talked with Act-Labs, they are comming out with a new gun this fall in the next 2 months.

I asked them if they were coming out with another one and they didn't tell me this!!! >:( >:(
-
Hmm, I'm using a 27" TV in my MAME cab. So I assume I'll need their TV gun.
I don't know if I should pick one up now though or wait for their rumored new one. :-\
-
I heard that it wasn't certain if they were coming out with a new one.
-
The reply I got mentioned that they might bring them back in a couple months, but didn't mention anything about a new model.
Based on what I've heard, their problem is that they lost their current supplier.
My guess is that they are looking for a new supplier, and will probably reissue the same model of gun if they can find a supplier for them.

Sorry guys, this is all my fault.
See...I have just recently decided on purchasing the Act Labs Guns, and as it turns out, anything that I have ever wanted immediately goes out of production before I can get it. It's been this way forever. I should have warned you. ;)
Sincerely,

The TV gun is fine for me =) I emailed them they said liek another poster wrote, its just a S-Video passthrough. Im gonna order it in the next couple weeks here so I'll let you TV users out there know how it comes out
-
i got the tv gun too, a 27 inch tv is only 170 bucks with s video, im surprised more people dont go this route.
