Light guns typicially don't work on LCD, Plasma, projection or basically any 100hz TVs.

Thus creates the problem- is it your TV making the light gun fail, or is the gun busted?
 
This may sound dumb, but you are plugging it into the 2nd controller slot right? I recently picked up Duck Hunt for my wife after not using my light gun for over 10 years. We thought the gun was broken until I finally remembered to plug it into slot 2 instead of slot 1.
 
I went to EB looking for Timecrisis or something and the guy started talking about how the light gun takes a picture of the screen and if the screen is too big, it won't work well...So that could be it

The NES uses a different system, where the screen flashes white where the duck is. Thus, if you get enough white light into the gun, it'll register as a hit.
 
Light gun games won't work on HD TVs, if I recall correctly. They work by reading scanlines, so if your new toshiba is a HD set, that is probably why it isn't working

The gun was designed for CRT/Tube Tv's in mind. There are new ones specifically designed for LCD's and the like, but I think you actually have to attach a 'rail of sorts to left and top sides.

Your projection TV actually is a CRT at its core. It uses a super-bright, smaller CRT that is focused and reflected through a prismatic mirror system similar to the top part of an overhead transparency projector.
