Light Gun Connectivity ?

Hi there,
Complete newbie here and just starting a project and was wondering exactly what I would need for a 2 light gun set up, looking at purchasing 2 x AimTrak light guns with recoil.
If getting 2 guns can I use 1 PSU and split it ? I am struggling to find anything that explains exactly what I need to connect these through from the external USB to the PC ?
For my external USB port I was looking at this, any thoughts ? -

I am UK based.
Many thanks in advance for any help.

More info about the PSU requirements can be found on their site.

36V is recommended, just buy 2 of the ones they recommend.
