I just got a dual monitor cab with a gun. Everything works but when I go to shoot something it makes the fire sound, but doesn't hit the target. Is the the sign of a bad gun or something else? Thanks for any help you can supply.
 
I also tried all 3 games that use the gun and never of them worked with the gun correctly.
 
try test mode. there has to be a way to calibrate the gun. then i would start testing to see if the gun is getting correct voltage.
 
gratz on finally getting your playchoice. Probably need to check and see the optics are clean inside the gun. Clean the screen, etc. If none of that works, the optical sensor may be bad. It's been posted somewhere that you could take the optics out of a NES zapper and put it in the gun and it work with a lil slight modification to the insides of the gun. I got my playchoice-10 with gun awhile back and had to work with it a bit to get the gun registering every shot. Good luck.

If that dosent work, I've heard you can use parts from an NES Zapper to make your gun work. Don't ask me how. Oops, didnt see the post above me :D

Here is the thread that described transplanting the parts from the Zapper:
