Sorry if I hijacked the thread here. Didn't mean for that to happen. If need be, I can repost this all in my own thread, if that would be better.
To answer your questions, Edwin:
1) I hadn't thought of making a removable clip, but since I'll be scratch-building this it'd be easy to do. Would have to figure out how long it's supposed to be, though.
2) Since I'm going for screen-accurate, I don't plan on adding a semi-to-full-automatic thumb selector switch. From what pics I've been able to find online, I can't see one on the screen-used piece, so I'd likely leave it out of the design.
3) I could use a good pic of the front, as I'm trying to draw up that technical view right now. Most of the pics I've seen are either too small or too blurry to really make out all the detail.
Another prop I'd be interested in would be the Castithan charge blade. It'd be pretty straightforward, I think. Make the blade out of machined acrylic/plexi, and illuminated by a super-bright blue LED situated in the handle. That's how I'd do it, anyway.
