: Not a suitable home option, Namco guns require a 24V PSU, plus the games require a gun board to function, i.e when you coin up the game it actives the cellanoid (recoil), and after no trigger action for 30 odd seconds it times out, otherwise the thing would probably overheat. Too expensive for home use as well, Namco would rather keep things cheaper.

This makes sense if we were talking about using the actual arcade units... However I was just referring to the various home console guns that have been sold in various HK video shops. I had one that was called RealArcade Gun, distributed through somewhere in New England. There are still clones of Desert Eagle and SIG-Sauer P226 with recoiling slides, if you look hard enough... Yes, they require a separate power supply, but that's no big surprise. Surely Namco could have made a toned-down home model like that.
