So, yes, I know, lasers on ANY type of gun are illegal for the reason of damaging eyes. But, none the less, they are extremely fun to use at night...makes playing all of those childish "good cop bad cop" games that you play way more fun!

Now, there are several ways of doing this...the most popular, a lot of tape over the laser then taping it to you're gun...who wants to take their hand off of the trigger to put on the button? The whole point is having the button near you so you are able to have it on, but be able to shoot the trigger at the same time...
This is a "neat" little mod that I did for fun...and nothing else!

So, first of all, someone helped me with this, but I have to ask for his permission to put in his name...(I think that it would be right). But, here are the pictures that he gave me when I was unsure of how to do it...So, once again, the initial idea was to make wires, attached to a momentary type switch...here is the test of it all, and it works!

First of all: You will need:

Laser Pointer: $14 (for a 1mW laser...5mW is best, if you can get it).
Pliers
Scissors
Electrical Tape (For Test)
Soldering Iron
Solder
Button Cell Batteries
Wires
Dremel, with flat small saw bit
This is what I did so far, I will have the rest up tonight when I pick up the laser.

Take the back off of the laser pointer to reveal the batteries...take them out! You will see a spring, now take the scissors and cut just before the spring. Take the 2! pliers, 1 to hole one side, and then the other to do the "peeling". Try to wrap the casing around the "peeling" pliers (needle nose, small), so its like rolling up a carpet. Take it all off, but be care to not damage it at all...If casing gets curled up to much, and the casing is to thick to cut, then take the dremel and cut into it.

Get the batteries, and place the positives all up, (big-small, big-small, big-small), then wrap them with tape. Wrap electrical all over, but leave a bit at the stop. Get the wires and place them at each end, but re-tape the batteries so the wires don't come undone. Here is a diagram, (made by said person).

First part, without switch.

Second diagram with switch.

This is my idea (I didn't make it up, I've seen it used before, just what I had planned out in my head.).

So, basically, I just wanted to show you what I was doing, and if you like it, you can do it on you're own. I am getting a real laser, but I was wondering how the "community" thought of this idea?

Please, no hateful comments, I just like doing things like these for fun sometimes, because I never really get to do these kinds of things on my guitars etc.

Thanks!
