How Does an FPGA Work?

Has anyone made a light gun replacement that would work with modern LCDs? Or is the frame delay too inconsistent for such a thing to work?

You cannot make 80s lightguns work on an LCD. When you pulled the trigger, the system drew out a few white boxes where the targets are, and how long it took the gun to "see" white told you which box you were aiming at, because of the raster functionality of the electron gun. LCDs always output an entire screen at once, so that cannot work.
