Check out https://www.sindenlightgun.com/ it’s made to work with modern panels and can be made to work with emulators. The whole is incredibly impressive .
A lot of enthusiasts now prefer the Gun4IR [0] or Samco [1] routes over the Sinden. Both use the IR camera from an authentic WiiMote (the camera in clones won't work), or the commercially packaged version of the latter from DFRobot. The camera tracks around four infrared LEDs placed around the monitor. This gets you away from the white box the Sinden draws around the screen. The Gun4IR Discord is really active, with people modding everything from old PS/2 GunCons to airsoft guns to Nerfs. And no gun is complete without a solenoid and / or a rumble motor (that from a PS4 preferred) for feedback.
And it's crazy expensive for a peripheral that's not going to have any modern games for it. Which is fine for wealthy middle-aged folks chasing nostalgia, but generations of kids are growing up without that experience. At best, they might have experienced a (terrible) wiimote gun game.
well, if the kids just want to experience pointing and shooting there are plenty of modern VR games that provide that. And, BTW, my short description of "Pistol Whip" is "rhythm Time Crisis in VR"
