This has probably been asked before but I was just wondering wich light gun above is the best all around for a 15k monitor.
EMS: Do these even work on 15k monitors and how ugly are these led strips?
ACT LABS: I don't care for the shape of the act labs casing but heard there accurate and no dongles or led strips needed but I'm not sure of this.
ACT LABS GS: I don't know if the older version's are preffered or the newer.
GUNCON 2: I seen a mod for these and did a day reading only to find they never worked ?
Other: anytype I missed worth mentioning?

With the new act labs guns you can get as close as you want, whereas with the topguns you have to be about 5 or so feet away, which can suck on an average 25" arcade monitor.
Act Labs' are generally the most user friendly and work well for games like area 51 and the like as long as you dont need full auto or to hold the trigger down.
New Act Labs guns got my vote.

does the EMS LCD TopGuns even work on 15k arcade monitors?
-
It'll work on any display as long as the sensor in the gun can see all the leds on the led strips.
-
have you tried the EMS topgun also and still preffer the act labs over it?

I have both, I use my act labs gun on my naomi uni cab's 29" monitor and the ems topgun on a friend's 50" dlp tv from about 8 feet away.
The ems gun is ideal for terminator2 and the like since it tracks continuously.
