Using HID analog stick gun instead of Wii remote?

Hi
I just bought a Titan One and have plans to buy a Titan Two when they are back in stock somewhere. I wanted to ask about people's experiences with using a Titan to play Wii games on a Wii console with a PC HID analog controller instead of a Wii remote?
There seems to be plenty of adapters that let you use PS2 or PS3 controllers on a Wii instead of the Wii classic controller. What I want is to play Wii games that only work with the Wii remote, like Ghost Squad and House of the Dead, with one of my arcade guns instead.
I currently use a Sega Type 2 arcade gun from a House of the Dead 4 cab (with 10 sensors around the screen) on my PC using a UHID from Ultimarc. It shows up in Windows like a regular (absolute) analog HID joystick:

I also use a positional arcade gun with an Apac which also shows up as an analog joystick:

Is it possible to use analog PC controllers like this on a Wii console for light gun games instead of a Wii remote using either a Titan One or a Titan Two? There is a few decent light gun games on the Wii but the Wii remote sucks. It would be great to use my more accurate arcade guns...
