You don't experience any wild shots?  Keep reading about people saying a shot once in awhile will occur way off target.  Not a simple accuracy issue, more like the gun just malfunctions or has a problem reading the tv.  Haven't heard about regular accuracy problems except with specific games like you mentioned.

Haven't noticed anyone mention a fix or reason.  Since they require a flash, maybe the monitor / tv just isn't bright enough.  Don't know...

Flinkly:
it sounds like the act lab guns are reading a spot on the screen as the flash, before the flash gets to that point, so it reads it as farther up the screen.  this will make sense if you understand how the flash guns work, but i'd have to explain a bit if you don't.  hope this helps.  most flash guns have this problem that weren't designed with certain games in mind.

for instance, most nintendo games that use the light gun don't use white to cover this issue, but with todays ever-realistic games, people tend to forget about the gun and it's flash.

I haven't ever seen a "wild" shot.
My guns hit exactly where I aim them on any game where the shots aren't just completely off to start with.

I'm using a PC monitor though, so that may cause better accuracy somehow.

You have to recalborate the gun to every game or you experience wild shots, if you simply take the 2 seconds to move it up and down and left to right on the screen before each game, you dont expereience this. also, heres the email I got from andy regarding work on the gun...Doug,
 
That's correct but the project is at a very early stage. It's something that I do some work on now and then. I don't have any target date at all for launch of this.
 
Cheers
