Light gun compatibility

My experience is that the bars cannot be mounted under glass.
I mounted them to the inner sides of the cabinet on the left & right of the screen with double sided tape.

Cool thanks Jeffremiller

I've owned TopGun I and II guns, and I can say there is ZERO performance difference between the two "generations". The only advantage to owning the II model is Vista compatibility. That's it. Even then, EMS only supports 32-bit Vista, and since most people serious about this stuff are converting to x64, their drivers don't work at all. EMS has stated they have NO intention of releasing an x64 version, probably because they're planning to milk more money out of people with a TG III. Otherwise their guns would have been firmware-upgradeable.
Anyway I'd stay away from EMS. The TG II guns are cheap, but you definitely get what you pay for. Forget playing Police Trainer or any game like it; performance is so poor I gave up on those games, and I don't even use the guns at all anymore. There are better solutions around the corner like the Sonic Gun System that use professional arcade guns and will hopefully be far more reliable/useful. Think about this: we use high-end Happ, Ultimarc and GGG equipment in our cabs, so why should we settle for sub-consumer-grade crap like EMS products? Unless the Sonic product and it's upcoming competitor offerings are going to be overpriced, I'd consider these as far better alternatives.
