A variety of light gun shooters work for MAME but they're mostly 2D 16-bit era shooters. Most of them are very quick and fun in my opinion. Rom set organization software like Romlister and front ends like MAMEUI and Hyperspin can show you what's available.

I think Area 51, Maximum Force, and MAYBE Crypt Killer (correct me on the status of that game) are the most relatively recent light gun games that are working (at least at a practical level) on MAME.

If you were hoping to play Virtua Cop, House of the Dead, Time Crisis, Crisis Zone, and other 32-bit era Sega, Namco, Konami light gun shooters on MAME than you're out of luck for a very long time unless you're willing to play a PC version which are usually available. I believe the PC version of a few of Sega's shooter in particular are in public domain now.
