No gun is perfect...period.  The aimtrak solves some problems that people have been having.  If you don't have anything currently and are ok with spending some change, you would probably be happy with a pair of them.  The only thing you should keep in mind is that Aimtrak and TopGun require a IR bar be installed above the monitor (just like a wiimote).  If you can't stand the idea of an IR bar (or at least a couple IR LEDs) being visible, then you are better off going with an ActLab or GunCon2 setup (but, these only work on CRT displays).

I LOVE my actlabs guns.  I'm not running mame .139 but I'm sure they work in them... I'm running a very slightly older mame than .139 and they work great.

I highly recommend the actlabs ones. I have a 27 inch tv in my cab and they work great.  I prefer the look of them too.  To me they had a Lethal Enforcers look to them, which reminded me of the arcade era I grew up in.

They work with snes9x (snes games), nestopia (nes games), Model 2 emulator, MAME, House of the dead 1-3, Virtua Cop 1 and 2, epsxe (playstation emulator), American Laser games (Mad Dog McCree and several other live action games), etc.

I love mine.  I highly recommend getting guns on your cab.  At the moment I seem to be playing those games more than anything else on my cab.

As said above, also I didn't want an infrared bar above my screen, especially considering my bezel around my monitor is tight to my monitor, so I went actlabs.

I've got the older ray-gun styled Act-Labs Light Guns and they work great with Windows 7 - 64 Bit and MAMEUI V139.

BTW: I was pleasantly surprised that all the Digital Leasure Light Gun games run fine with Windows 7 - 64 Bit.

I've even got the PC versions of "House of the Dead 2" and "Virtua Squad 2" running under Windows 7 - 64 Bit. ("The Troubleshooter" is required for both these games to work with Act-Labs Light Guns. http://thetroubleshooter.home.mindspring.com/ )

 :angry:  I didn't know those games existed, now I have to get them....and I see there are a lot of them.

*Edit* bought 4 of them so far and the house of the dead series to boot! Guess I can't go out and spend $$ this weekend
 :angry: this hobby addiction.

mrtuesday42:
i was looking at the act-labs guns and it seems like they want a ton of money for a two player setup, two boxes and two guns costing 200$. would the guncons or even aimtraks stuffed in guns be a better option??? seems to me it would be. i am using an arcade monitor at the moment.
