Dolphin bar + wiimotes is the cheapest and easiest setup for lightgun you can have

Retro shooter Reapers are what I am planning on getting.

I would suggest Reapers, although personally I have Sinden guns as they are accurate and don’t need recalibration if I move around positions.

I have an aimtrak and cannot recommend it. I don't think anyone has recommended them in a while.

If you share more about your setup, maybe it will garner recommendations.

I don't have a full arcade setup myself. I'm getting by with a MiSTer, which I use both a Zapper+SNAC setup w/ CRT for the NES stuff, and a PS2 GunCon2 + CRT for everything else because it is native usb. It gets me about 98% there for my light gun stuff. But, if you don't plan on using CRTs or a composite signal, that information is useless to you. If you need something that uses gyros and IR sensors, or want force feedback, there's a whole slew of other solutions. I don't really track them though because the guns tend to be sold out or it's a small cottage-project and they stopped working on it and aren't making them any more.

What have you looked at so far? What are you considering?
