it's not that simple
the trigger mech on these Ares gearboxes work in a way that using something like a tact switch just would not work. the micro switch used by Ares is set up to be pressed for off and released for on, basically working backwards.
as for guns that i have worked on that have either V2 or V3 switches (shuttle pushed forward into contacts) and run with a MOSFET, i replace the contacts with tact switches.
