I got an odd lot of guns (all untested).

It has 3 revolvers in it. Red, Blue and Pink.

I want to test them. I don't have any Nintendo stuff.

All 3 revolvers look similar (like Nintendo made them with the fully spinning cable in the gun handle).

How do I tell if the Blue & Pink guns are Lethal Enforcer guns or Nintendo VS guns? The insides of the Blue/Pink guns look similar to the Red Nintendo gun. The caps on the photo transistor board look to be moved further out, that is about all that is the same.

The wiring to the guns all looks similar too. But, I have seen adapters on ebay for the LE guns to go from 2 plugs to 1x 4pin plug with Pink/Blue LE guns.

Thanks for any help!

Edit: Rats, wrong forum. Can this be moved to game technical please?
Edit2: Thanks Tombo!

Orange and black are nintendo guns..... Vs guns will have all 6 wires. Playchoice will have 4 wires and a green loop for the other 2. A playchoice gun will work in a VS, but to the best of my knowledge a VS gun wont work in a playchoice.

Pink and blue are LE guns. Pink and blue were never nintendo guns, the optics are different.

Now it is possible that an Operator may have used the pink or blue case and put all the internals in it from a Nintendo gun, since they were abused and broken in an arcade setting.
 
Adding some pictures.

It looks like I have a "PlayChoice" gun based on the connectors.

Attached you can see both of the photo PCBs in the guns.

The connectors on both guns more or less look the same.

Does anyone have the wiring diagram for the LE gun?

Edit2: I swear I meant play choice. ;)
