I was going to make my own guns for T2 as well. I got a couple of toy guns, you could put a microswitch to where it gets pressed by the trigger, be sure to remove anything that the gun uses to make noise. As for the color, why not just paint it? That'd make it easier to find a gun (most toy guns are bright colors).

: I posted this a while ago but since it was inside a different topic I thought I might as well ask again.

: I am designing some home made rotary T2 guns and was wondering about what I could use for the actual *gun* part of the controls. I figured out how I can make my own roatary analog stick for the base, but I obviously need a good gun to use.

: I would like a gun (preferably black) that would somewhat resemble a T2-like gun. If anyone knows a gun that would be suitable, please let me know.

: I was also wondering about how to wire it. If I wanted to use the trigger (from say a PSX gun), could I just solder and wire from whatever sends the trigger signal to a button on my joystick? I know people have hacked PSX controllers but how about a gun trigger?

: Thanks

: PS- When its all up and running, I will post it to a page so I can explain my gun idea.
