The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Hi all
Well I feel lke the boy crying wolf here. Everytime I think Im done with the Rifle something comes up that takes twice a slong as I think it will. Insalled the counter and decided I wanted it to light up when I inserted the mag. Tried a few different methods that didnt work! Im onto Idea number three! Went to my local Radio Shack and came home with this.....
So now when I slide the mag in it his the roller arm and activates the switch. The switch is mounted at the back end of the HCG grenade launcher. I will also i stall an on/off switch so when the mag is in I can turn it off. Had one in allready but crazy glue and electronics dont work well sometimes .

Great idea. I used quite a few of the roller switches in my second and third PR builds.

Hi
I used this area cause my battery and switch take up the lower area of the shrouds. I plan to finish the wiring in the next day or two. This is making my soldering skills better. Ill post pics when done.
