Light Gun Reviews 195: before home Light Guns?
68We take a look what people did before there were light guns in their homes. The video covers electro-mechanical arcade games, air guns, parlor guns and a particular toy called "Sport-Trainer" which was made by Gebrüder Einfalt Blechspielwarenfabrik under their Technofix brand in West Germany.

It is run by Bill Heatherly, who does a tremendous job.
A big special thanks to the Sands Mechanical Museum for the material on the Ray-O-Lite machines! It is run by Michael Sands. The carefully put together website is a treasure of information for old arcade games:

On Michael's YouTube channel there are very neat videos in which he shows the inner workings of some of his machines:
