Light gun as a mouse?

I don't know if this would even be possible, but lets say you take a light gun (made by) Sinden. This does come with sensors that you mount on the top corners of your screen/monitor.
I'm not sure exactly how it works, but if this could act like a mouse... Could someone also use something like AIMVICE to then use (what would essentially be a) "mouse" input/motions on a console?

Imma guess that a light gun would function more like a touch screen, as opposed to a mouse.

Using a light gun as a mouse is an interesting idea, especially for retro gaming enthusiasts. Light guns detect screen light to aim, but adapting them for mouse use can be tricky. They need USB connections and drivers to work with modern systems, and they may lack the precision required for regular mouse tasks.
On a related note, think of "wan vs lan." WANs cover broad, distant communication, similar to how light guns target a wide area. LANs are more precise and localized, like a mouse's detailed control. While fun, a light gun might not be practical for daily use due to its lower precision.
