The strange thing is that about 1/3rd of the time, the gun registers, even when not moving the cable.
Stretching and twisting the cable does not improve the situation.
What would you suggest? Try and open the cable up or to search for a replacement?
UPDATE:
I was testing the game with the gun open. I noticed when I close the gun, it almost never registers.
Holding the gun still and triggering, it registers when open, and stops when closing (no light). Very bizarre.
This makes me think external light has an influence on the gun pcb. Could replacing the emitter solve the problem? Can this part be bought somewere?
