Light Gun Shooter genre - rename?

[Agozer]

Apologies if this has been discussed in the past, but I would like to see the Light Gun Shooter genre renamed to something more indicative of the actual nature of the game. A more on point genre name would be "Railshooter" or something similar.

Games that support actual lightguns these days no longer exist and older games and systems that support actual lightguns only work on CRT monitors/TVs, as far I understand the tech anyway. Besides, the lightgun is only an input device and the actual game mechanics use rigid, predetermined paths (i.e. it's on rails). Well, you know what I mean.

Anyways, if there someone who knows more, please weigh in.

Modern TVs don't allow for light gun interaction like the old CRTs did. The GunCon for PS3 had sensors you had to set up in order to use it. As for the game play, anymore the genre has shifted to the "on rails" style as opposed to the older games like Duck Hunt, Hogan's Alley, and Wild Gunman where it was more of a fixed environment kind of thing.

Perhaps a modification to the name to Light Gun/Railshooter?
