ok so id think thats an improvement in design right there. although im guessing possitioning them properly may take a bit longer.
Shame i cant justify upgrading to the wife lol..
The topgun 2 was more expensive when i bought it than the topgun 3 is.
and i had to get it from playasia who use federal extortion as a courier.
so all in all wife isnt gonna let me lol..
but i wonder if the sensors work with the ems top gun2 and if i can buy those seperate.

I'd expect them to work with the top gun 2 , I'm not sure but it looks the same but wireless . Suppose would not know unless u had both sets to try .
They come with 4 squares of white putty to hold them where u want them .
I will have to ( sorry about the punn )
Give it a shot later when the kids go to bed n report back on the quality/accuracy .

Now that is quality !!!! Wow got house of the dead on Xbox on my 50 inch flatscreen ! Woo hoo , laser dot and recoil ! Excellent .
i killed my topgun 2 playing bang on mame yesterday 
it made a Bleep bloop noise saying device was dissconnected.. I wiggled the usb lead and it went bleep bloop bleep bloop..
(usb lead was broken)
i dunno what els happend to it when i wiggled the wires probably managed to pump 5v up one of the data lines wiggeling it..
Spent like an hour stripping down the usb part (it splits to 3 connectors so i wanted to see if there was any resisters or anything in the split up part..
as far as i could tell
it was
Blue to blue
white to black (and a white wire that connected to the recoil enable wire male)
red to brown and to a red wire for the recoil)
green to green
and then sheild/ground wire..
looked straight forward enough.
I decided to play it safe and not solder white to black. or red to brown.
And just solderd those 2 to the recoil enable cable.
And everything els matched up.
well it didnt detect new hardware when i pluged it in..
so i connected recoil function wires together and it detected new device but it had an error..
So i went and solderd red to brown and black to white..
then it did detect a new device but it still had an error..
I may sit down with it later. and examine my possibilities.
but i think its fried
i have 7 wires for a 5 pin connection lol. I KNOW 2 of them are + and - 5v for the recoil. and i know they are red and white.
and i can also see from the remnance of whats left of the wiering mess they had encased in epoxy that A white wire connects to black and a red wire connects to brown.
Which again makes sence +5 should be the red. and Ground is black.
but its strange because i dont see any reason for the usb side to have 7 wires
usb side should be
Red, Black, green, blue, sheilding..
they should connect to the same wires on the other end.
Brown and white should connect to the Male Adapter for the recoil (gun side)
and then the female adapter (usb side) should connect to red and black..
There is no reason to have 7 stinking wires on the usb connection side. and they are messing with my damn head lol..
i think i am going to have to strip the whole things down to its pcb's
follow the dumb traces to the recoil motor. and see what colour wires connect to that.
Strip the outer casing completley off the usb cable and follow the wires down
then replace the whole lot with a usb cable (only 5 stinking wires, so no recoil function)
And then see if it detects it.
If it does then who knows i may add some extra weight to the slide and throw in a 9v battery for the recoil.
See fi i cant break my own wrists when im playing a game lol.
Sigh.
i really liked that gun 2
Mame is no fun without it.

Iv not had enough spare time to do more than house of the dead III
But I'd like to advance to more pc based stuff
I have to say the accuracy is excellent . Was a bit peed off to start with until I found my house of dead 3 disk . Not many titles for Xbox to try.
Saying that I'm going to look for more.
Wish I could help with the wires ! Just buy a Mk III
Wireless is defo good ( I did not have wires knocking over my pint , nor was the wife complaining about wires all over the livingroom lol )

MUHAHAHA !
i fixed it.
turned out they were being pointless..
And confused me.
basically the BLUE wire was a ground wire for the usb, Black was ground for the recoil. Red was +5v for usb, Brown was +5 v for recoil.
Then white and green were data lines.
and of course sheilding..
Then What they did (just to confuse matters) Was thow in an optional connector which had 2 more wires..
red and white..
This time the red wires connected to brown.. (+5v recoil) and the white wire connected to black (-5v recoil)
Which would have been perfectly fine IF ONE OF THE FRIGGING DATA LINES WASNT WHITE AS WELL!!!
any way all figured out now.
green to green.
red to red
a diferent white to a diferent white,
Blue to blue..
sheilding to sheilding..
THEN here come the pointless and confused the matter wires.
brown to a diferent red --> Switch ---> red ---> brown
black to a diferent White ---> Switch----> white ---> Black
(hopefully if some lost soul gets the same issues as me they will find that usefull..)
All in all way more wires than needed. Should just have standard usb connection then split the 5v In the gun and cram in a on off switch.
ANY WAY
loaded up and working again with a extra long wire now too lol.
I think i will load mad dog mcree on a pc some where "cant remember if its true 32bit , or has a 16bit installer) the gaming machine is on windows 7 x64 so if it has a 16 bit installer that will scupper my plans.
:double
Any way really should appologise for this BLAITANT thread hyjacking.
But to get it back on par I will try and install mad dog mcree. and maybe we can compare vid;s and see who remembers where they pop up next the best!
this week has been rediculous for me anything that can break has broken or decided not to work.
EVERYTHING has been a pain to repair lol.
the rott is set in so deep evn things i sold/traded decided to just stop working,
and to cap it all off..
I sat on my ds when fixing the gun..
Gonna need a new case for that now.. im just glad its a start of a new week i say.
Im glad im not a manic depressive lol.

Glad to see you got it up and running again !
I'm exited for mt projector screen to come so I can do some propped shooting .
The red laser dot reflects off the TV but it won't off projector so should be better.
Ordered silent scope complete 1 , 2 , 3 ... That should be good too.
How to upload vids on here?

I would like to see vids of all this - probably best uploading to Youtube first then you can link to them from here. Coolio and good luck!
yeah id upload to you tube then embed or just add the link here.
I cant really use mine on my projector. (again because i dont have a screen and just use the wall)
I may hang a sheet up though.
it says that i can put the sensor bars behind the screen to use it then.
Think im prety much done fixing everything i can fix lol.
My ds is now more hot glue than anything els lol.
Light gun works.
all the stuff i needed to prep is prepped.
so i may go search for a white sheet that isnt in use now lol..
Hope the wife dosent go mental.

sounds like some one has auto fire on lol..
seems like you are enjoying it.
well i tried to cheat and hook it up to the projector..
There is no way i can use it on the projector without a screen or sheet or something.
and apparantly we dont have any white flat sheets only fitted ones.
So i just spen the lat 30 mins extending wire connections between two sensor bars and the psu for no reall reason lol..
(atleast its done now so wont be an issue when i do get a screen.)
any way mean while,.
i added a vid of me sucking on point blank on the pc with my ems topgun 2.
the camera hindered me
i will have to install mad dog mcree in a minuet.
I know i have a windows based version some where. but most of them are dos based.
http://youtu.be/4t_14Eg8IMQ
edit..
Ok so my mad dog mcree 2 is a 16 bit installer. and i can only use it through dos box..
Of course my monitor wont support the ancient resolutions, so i cant play that untill i get a screen for the projector (projector can dislay it)
However
Suprisingly enough my "for windows" version of mad dog mcree 1 works just fine straight from the disk. dont need to install or anything
so i whooped booty on that.
i will add the vid once its processed on you tube.
"13 min vid lol" (pretty short game)
