This subject comes up alot, optical guns (aka light guns) are kinda up in the air. Designed for PC guns (Act-Labs makes them) work minimally under Mame32, but have to be re-calibrated constantly(not very fun in-game). They also require that you use a PC monitor (if you use a TV or arcade monitor, you're out of luck).
Real arcade guns have yet to be used with Mame to my knowledge.
The only real progress of using guns has been this page: http://www.debaser.force9.co.uk/ccmame/
Which reports that PSX guns can be used with DOS mame and a TV. (clickable link below)
