Default lightguns for the pc

So I've been playing time crisis, and it makes me wonder if there's a lightgun for the pc that would work on an lcd monitor.
Anybody know of one and where I could buy one?

It would have to be a specialized light gun. The way a lightgun works is it picks up light from the source. CRTs give off light differently than LCD/LED thus a common light gun does not work since it can't estimate where it's at on the screen.

This is where the wii comes in. Regardless of the tv you own the wii will know the postion of the wiimote since it works off of IR and not light. So your best bet at the moment would be to get a wii. Look for a connect to a pc guide and a gun attachment. Too much work for a game if I do say so my self.
