I think of those as the same thing honestly. Like the Resident Evil games, Dead Space, House of the Dead. etc.

But when I hear rail shooter I instantly think Afterburner or Star Fox. And Resident Evil and Dead Space are at the core survival horror.

I think he's talking about the Umbrella Chronicles games and Dead Space Extraction which were rail shooters/light gun games like House of the Dead.

As for the distinction between Light Gun and Rail Shooter, I think I associate Rail Shooter with games where you play in 3rd person like Star Fox and games in first person view I tend to think of as Light Gun games. No idea if I'm right or wrong though.
