I've had some experience dabbling with Pot based guns.
They are fairly easy to hook up, just replace the pots with 100K pots, buy a joypad extension lead, chop the female end off, solder the wires on the pots for X1, Y1 and X2 and Y2 for gun 2.
Wiring diagrams off a joystick port available somewhere, Wallys World or something, its on the links section somewhere on Saints site.
Should be 3 wires per pot which is something like this.
+5V
Axis | Middle pin

The recoil just happens when you press the trigger, what it does is complete a 24V circuit to the cellinoid unit which generates the kick.
So for that you will need a 24VAC Transformer.
