Gun4ir is the best but you can't just buy a gun4ir system unless you are in usa.

You need to contact jaybee directly and pay £20 for the software license, the build instructions and access to the secret discord.

Best experience is to buy the £300 each blue and pink namco repro guns on ali express as they have both the rumble motor and the kick back solenoid.

Very little info on the Internet about it. You have join the secret discord for help.


For a super easy relatively cheap light gun though you can't beat the AimTrak guns. Some people complain about the tracking but it's only an issue if you are too close to the screen. As long as you stand back 2 meters from the screen they are excellent.

Got it by going here…

Personally, buy a gcon* from ebay around 20 quid, really simple to mod and done all in for 50/60 without solenoid (I prefer this as lighter weight for longer play sessions than you would in an arcade) however if you want to add them you can, at far less than the guns mentioned.

Worth noting you can cut that distance a fair amount by incorporating a 0.65x mobile phone zoom lens in to your build. When I was setting up mine I managed to get the distance to less than 1m although that was using a 4:3 screen.


I have never used Sinden but love G4IR. I have 2 x standard HAP guns using it with the normal arcade cable adapted to USB going to a cab, I also have another inside a Joytech real arcade light gun.
