I loved lightgun games on the old systems, and I think the Sega Saturn's Stunner was the best hardware of the lot. The obsolescence of CRTs pretty much killed the tech, but the gameplay style has made a bit of a resurgence a couple times with the advent of the Wii and VR.

I want a lightgun that works like those big chunky ones you’d see on arcade machines back in the day that weighed like 4 lbs and had servos to give it real clacky recoil. I know people make these and you can buy them (or even just pull ones off an old arcade cabinet and interface them with the hardware) but they’re way to expensive for me to actually buy though.

If it was like a $50-100 project maybe but I’m pretty sure it’s like $600+ and that’s just an obscene amount of money for this. But it would be fun

Look into the GUN4IR project. They have drop-in replacement parts to make the Guncon work on LCD monitors.
