 Light gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A positional gun is effectively an analog stick that records the position of the gun to determine where the player is aiming.
A positional gun is a gun mounted to the cabinet on a swivel that allows the player to aim the gun.
These early light gun games used small targets (usually moving) onto which a light-sensing tube was mounted; the player used a gun (usually a rifle) that emitted a beam of light when the trigger was pulled.

 Xbox Compatible Light Gun Xbox
Fans of games that require the use of a light gun have known all along that there is simply no better way to play your light gun games than with a cool light gun itself.
The Xbox Light gun enables gamers to play gun games they way they were intended to be played.

When you start the game you may notice that your gun may not be very accurate, in order to change the accuracy you should head over to the game's GunCon configuration menu.

To test the compatibility with the actual games, we threw the gun against Time Crisis (one of my all time favorites) and Point Blank 2.

While some light gun games try to add some plot to compliment the usually hectic on-screen shooting that the genre is know for, more often than not these inclusions result in another feature of the game lacking in some quality or another.
While the game contains the standard gun game fundamentals (shoot, reload, move on to the next area), it also features the ability to move around as you saw fit using the directional pad on a light gun.
Since most light guns have D-pads built into the unit, you have to use your thumb to try and use it to move while at the same time shoot.

 Howstuffworks "How does the light gun for a video game work?"
If the photodiode senses darkness after one vertical retrace signal and then light after the next, the computer assumes that the gun is pointed at the target and scores a hit.
Lots of home video games and arcade games use some sort of gun as an input device.
You point the gun at the screen and pull the trigger, and if you hit the target on the screen, the target explodes.

 RetroBlast! Review: ACT-Labs PC USB Light Gun
There is very limited PC gaming support for light guns (less than 10 games, if that), but since the ACT-Labs gun supports MAME and Nintendo emulators, you've actually got a fairly large selection to choose from.
One problem that was a major annoyance, however, is the inability of the light gun to “shoot off screen to reload” in games such as Area 51 and Maximum Force.
Unfortunately, I wasn't as lucky with the Ultimarc ArcadeVGA card — what I first thought was a defective light gun turned out to be an incompatibility with the ArcadeVGA card when it is used with Wells-Gardner D9200 monitors that have a "Rev. B" P1279201 Video/Sync input board.

 The Straight Dope: In Nintendo's "Duck Hunt," how does the TV know when you've hit a duck?
The gun is connected to the game console; pressing the trigger blackens the screen, then causes a duck-shaped white target to appear momentarily.
A friend and I were playing Nintendo, the original eight-bit system, and we played Duck Hunt, a game that requires a "light gun." I was wondering: How exactly does the Nintendo game "know" where you are pointing the gun on the screen when you shoot ducks?!?
The patent explains how the dark-to-light shift prevents you from cheating by pointing the gun at a steadily shining light source, a weakness of earlier light guns.

 RetroBlast! Light Gun Shootout
Just as it's not the same playing a trackball game with a mouse, playing a shooting game without a light gun just isn't right.
The test resolutions were 640x480 and below (depending on the MAME game being run), and all tests were done at the recommended 60 Hz.
