When Saturn titles where slightly more readly available ie in the game shops I tried to sourch as many gun titles as I could having two light guns (lucky me lol)
I know of:
Crypt Killer - own Die Hard Trilogy (Die Hard 2 section) House of the Dead - own Virtual Cop - own Virtual Cop 2
But was there anymore?

Area 51, which I like. It does have a border around the screen but is very similar to the arcade version. I believe that Scud is also a light gun game but have not heard good things about it.

BTW, if you don't have Virtua Cop 2 it is a must have. Nothing like using both guns as a single player in two player mode. Blast away!

I remember a game called Mighty Hits at the time that uses the Virtua gun. It definitely received a PAL release and mainly consisted of weird mini-games. Another would be Revolution-X but it received pretty poor reviews when it came out. It featured Aerosmith and required you to down enemies using CDs rather than your bog standard bullets

I would get mates round on a regular basis and hold "Who could get the highest score while using 2 guns" lol
I do remember Reveolution X in the Arcade I think cant say I had ever seen it or Mighty Hits to be honest but Im sure they where pressed in very limited runs like both Virtual Cop and House of the Dead

Just looking at your list again Saturnboy, of the lightgun games you currently own. I reckon you should try and track down Virtua Cop 2 (really very good) and you'll have pretty much the best of what the Saturn has to offer here.
If you have a Dreamcast, theres some decent light gun games to choose from with House of the Dead 2 being my personal favourite. I also remember really enjoying Time Crisis back on the original PlayStation. I'd rank it up there alongside the Virtua Cop series.

Revolution X though being a light gun game does not have light gun support... So avoid it. But all the others were covered, definitely pick up VC 2 when you can, its leaps and bounds better then VC 1.

Also there was the sequel to Area 51 which is Maximum Force but that is quite hard to find.

There was also a port of Corpse Killer Graveyard Edition. It also doesn't support a light gun.
I like using dual gun's for House of the Dead!

yep defintately grab VC2, good game indeed. mighty hits is no virtua cop 1 or 2, but it's worth a play, it's almost like the saturn alternative to point blank. i've definately got some enjoyment out of it with mates. i love hotd one thing i like about the first virtua cop, although its not as good as the sequel, i like the solid feeling of the graphics, everything feels a lot sharper (albeit with less detail than VC2)

If you want to include Japanese releases, there was also Death Crimson, which sucks.

Does anyone have Chaos Control? That's another light gun game for the Saturn and is truly terrible. I picked it up thinking it would be like Virtua Cop but boy was I wrong! House of the Dead is OK but the graphics are too pixelated. Both Virtua Cop games are a must have though. I have Time Crisis and Time Crisis Poject Titan on the Playstation. Time Crisis and Virtua Cop 2 are two of the best shooters around.

Chaos Control isn't terrible it's just crazy hard as bad guys constantly come at you from all directions with little time for you to react. It's one of those games you need to keep playing so you can remember all the timing & enemy locations.

Another vote for Mighty hits. Haven't played it in a while but I remember it being pretty good fun. There are party games in there for up to 8 players if I remember rightly!
But really, the Wii has this genre wrapped up. I have HOTD 2&3 and HOTD Overkill - excellent stuff.
