GunCon Accuracy

Guncon 2 has 1 or 2 more buttons, a d-pad, and it's virtually impossible to lose sight of....

I just got a GunCon (1), and it has an RCA plug I wasn't expecting. What do I need to do with it?

I always find it funny that until the 32bit days, the concept of a poorly calibrated and inaccurate lightgun didn't really exist.

What about the Super Scope? Or the Menacer?

Duh. You said:
"I always find it funny that until the 32bit days, the concept of a poorly calibrated and inaccurate lightgun didn't really exist."
Therefore, I pointed out two examples of pre-32bit lightguns, the Super Scope 6 and the Menacer, which had to be calibrated.

"There"? Well, regarding the "worked flawlessly", not quite. They both require a sensor to be set atop the television, and then they must be calibrated. They were a bit easier to calibrate, since they had eyepieces, but I wouldn't want to sit there and optically aim every shot in a gun game; I get the feel of where I need to point in order to hit.
Point is, they did have problems. If you were right or left handed, and all of us are one, the other, or both, then you had a section of the screen (the leftmost and rightmost, respectively) where shots would register "off-screen". Real annoying, real calibration problems! In 16 bit. Before 32 bit systems were released. Which was my whole point.

The best light gun ever is the Zapper. That's some space age shit right there.
